Here are a couple of recent pictures of Michael. He is definately bigger and looks older! He LOVES to watch the ceiling fan!!! He is completely taken with it!! When I need to get something done I lay him on the ottoman and let him look up at the fan and he is occupied and happy for a few minutes!! The other day Frank was holding him and he was looking at the fan, so Frank looked up at the fan and I snapped this picture. When I looked at the picture I immediately thought how much Michael looks like Frank!! This is a rare picture of Frank (Pat's dad) with one of his grandkids!!

Michael...He is a Blessing!!

yesterday was michael's blessing day. pat did the blessing and it was beautiful. all day i kept thinking how truly blessed we are to have him with us. things could have turned out very differently and i am thankful for him every day!! we all love him so much...at church it is musical chairs for michael as corey, patrick. emily, daniel, aubrey, and julia pass him around to hold him. he is wearing his white blessing sweater outfit in the pictures...i was worried it would be too small but it was actually a little too big. he is growing though...he weighs about 9 lbs. when people see him they comment on how much bigger he is. i just love him!!!
