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) :-)

Katie's Owie

On June 11th Katelynn had to have her Adenoids removed. Here she is coloring with Daddy waiting to go back. Katie did very well with the whole procedure and has recovered very quickly

Abigail's Blessing



On May 30th we were lucky to have a lot of family come for Abigail's blessing. It was a fun day, Jed did a great job and we had a fun lunch in our backyard.

Abbie and her (2nd) cousin Peyton

Abbie made her first trip to Paragonah and was able to meet a lot of the extended family. Payton was born about 4 weeks before Abbie, but they are about the same size.

Abba Daba Doo

Abbie is such a good baby. She is quite understanding when her big sister tries to share her food or hug her a little too tight. She still likes to sleep a lot during the day, but from about 8:oo-10:30pm she needs to be held and paid attention to.

Cute Girls

Katie has done quite well with the new addition of Abigail to our family. Most of the time she ignores her, but at least once a day she has to hold Abbie. In the car Katie always makes sure that Abbie is buckled in and will tell her "shhh, don't cry" if she is sad.

Daddy and the Girls


It is so cute to watch Jed with the girls. Katelynn and Daddy have become quite close since Abbie's birth. Katie has to have Daddy give her, her bath and put her to bed.

Happy Birthday


On May 3rd Katelynn turned two. Mom worked hard and made Katie's cake. But Katelynn's favorite part was the candles. We had to let her blow them out at least ten times, and we had to sing before each blow. We started to shorten the song by the third time.

I want to mow daddy

This morning I was going about my business mowing our actually green lawn. Upon turning back towards the house I saw my little Katelynn looking at me.
She tapped and asked what I was doing. I yelled through the window that I was mowing the lawn. My too smart for her own good child replied "ME MOW." Which later my sister gave me the idea I should have replied Finding Nemo is in the house. I guess I was not that creative this morning.

Kissin Kate

We have found that Katelynn is getting used to her baby sister, she loves to give her kisses.

Sometimes she wants to kiss her a little harder then we, her parents, like.
