The Patrickisims

#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

Dancing happy



This video was sent to me by Carrie. Her sisters are taking care of Katelynn down in Paragonah and they are rocking out.

CHEEESSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Carrie was showing me pictures she had taken over the past several months when she came upon this one. She and I are teaching Katelynn to smile.
Here we actually have her captured in digital film that smiling can happen with our daughter. I for one think that she is a very cute kid.

*Note the cute little chair behind her right shoulder. Since mom had a rocking chair I guess that Grandma Barton thought Katelynn should have one too. The amazing part is it seems that Katelynn actually enjoys sitting in it.

A new one for the family

Announcing the all to soon arrival of Little Baby Otis Patrick. You get to be one of the first few people who see this debut photo. We don't know the Gender yet, but we will next month. Right now we know that we have a baby with a very strong heartbeat. If he/she is anything like Katelynn they will be impatient to join the world...

Carrie has installed a counter to the left that will count down till our due date.

First snow of the year and time to Play


It snowed in our little neck of the woods today, so Carrie took Katelynn outside to play. Bundling her up so she would stay worm, putting gloves on her, and visiting the neighbors Katelynn played on the swingset in the neighbors back yard.

That happy face let me, her father, know that she would be an outdoors lady for the rest of her life. I know if I went out in the snow like that I would not be the happiest person in the world........Maybe that's why I work with computers?
