No Foolin'

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Patrick and Luke: "We love learning about mutual funds!"

Today is another interesting milestone for me as a mother – today, the twins are the age that Joe was when they were born. I can hardly believe it! Joe seemed so old, and they still seem like babies. Much of this is perception, of course. Joe looked like a monster compared to the little five-pound squirts. It seems like he hasn’t changed what he looks like or his fun personality. I do remember being shocked at how much he had “changed” after being away from him for 11 days in the hospital. I was looking back at some of the first posts and realizing that he really was this little – the babies wear some of the clothes he was wearing in the pictures, and the picture of him in the play structure was his first time really playing at a playground. Two weeks ago, the babies enjoyed their first playground experience as walkers and climbers. Is anybody else amazed, or am I just being a sappy mother?

Joe was not happy having his picture taken with his brothers for the first time. Patrick is on the left (how many of you could tell that? :) )
