What have we been doing since September 12, when we last posted? Oh, nothing much. Just . . .
Learning how to walk (which explains much of the lack of posting since then) . . .
Starting to talk (he has since conveniently forgotten how to say "thank you", but does a charming impression of a baby pterodactyl when you don't give him something fast enough) . . .
Playing soccer (the kid definitely has a future in the sport -- he can flop with the best of them) . . .
Entertaining visiting foreign dignitaries (do you know how many Hollands will fit into Tennessee? because Ms. Malland's kindergarten class does) . . .
Helping to plan and execute two major community-wide events (one for Josh, one for me) . . .
Going on our first field trip (can you identify seven different kinds of gourds? because Ms. Malland's kindergarten class can) . . .
Hanging with our buds (and watching the classic, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" in the Grishams' backyard) . . .
Getting better at reading and walking (though maybe not filmmaking) . . .
Learning new tricks (you should see him pull a quarter out of his ear) . . .
And just generally being cute (one of Patrick's core competencies).
So that about sums it up. Things are pretty crazy, but also pretty great. See you next year!
(Kidding!! Probably.)
What progression in these almost two months! I thought maybe you were waiting on college graduation. Hold on, though, because things will begin to get crazier and crazier believe it or not--many good times ahead.
