My boy doing what boys do

Paul is on the go more than ever now and he seems to get himself in to all kinds of tight places. Do you see the flower on the floor infront of him? I hope it was worth it.


Shiner number two. This one came with a nice puffy goose egg.

Homeward Bound

Praise the Lord, on the way home there was enough room on the plane for Paul to have his own seat. What a difference that makes. He is totally enjoying the refreshements that come with flying as you can see the cheese in his crackers all over his clothes.

When he had fianlly had enough of traveling, the only thing that made him smile was playing "Patty Cake". About 100 times until the plane landed. It was worth it.

More Creation Museum

Here we are in the Garden of Eden
The building of Noah's Ark
This man had a great scientific (and humorous) presentation to prove that humans did NOT evolve from the ape.

The Creation Museum

Just across the Ohio river into Kentucky there is a Creation Museum.

It was a great facility, I recommend it. It took 3 or 4 hours to go through it all,

and I think it would be worth it to go again and again because there is just so much to try and absorb.

Me and "Aunt" Wallis

Paul really bonded with his soon to be Aunt Wallis,

I think they will equally miss each other.Here she is saying goodbye to him. Sad to see him go.

Over the weekend we were able to spend some great qality time with Sam's dad's side of the family. They are all meeting Paul for the very first time. Here he is with Sam's cousin Dawn. They hit it off right away.
Here he is with Uncle Dick
He and Aunt Marcia are having fun, just look at those smiles.

The Happiest Kid in Town

We packed alot of activities into 6 short days that we were in Ohio, and even though we were in the car or on a plane a whole bunch more than you expect a kid to handle. Paul always remained a happy kid. He probably complained the least of all of us.

Party People

Jennifer and Kathy
Sean and Wallis.

Sam's brother and his fiance who are getting married in March.

Paul partied so hard that he just ran out of steam before the night was over.

Anniversary Party

The 60th anniversary party was quite an affair. We were all taken to the party location in this huge Limo Van. We had 30 people in there, it was crowded and hot, but a very handy way to get us all there.
This was the party location. The Destiny Charter Yacht. We floated up and down the Ohio river through downtown Cincinnati. We ate and drank and danced and had a great time.
Grandma and Grandpa Gehringer. The guests of honor.

Quality time with my cousin

To Ohio and Back

Just last week our family flew to Ohio to celebrate a 60th anniversary for Sam's grandparents as well as spend some good family time with all of the family that lives in the Cincinnati area. Here are some pictures of Paul in the airport preparing for his very first airplane ride.


Sleeping soundly

Paul's First Shiner!

If you look closely at his right eye, you will see the beginnings of a baby black eye. Paul saw the string of the camera hanging down from the table, decided it would be fun to pull on it and see what was at the other end, and it came down and wacked him in the face.
