Children's Museum

John Patrick and I had a blast today at the Children's Museum in downtown Pittsburgh. John Patrick wore himself out. We were there for about 4 hours and did not stop. So much to do and for those of you who know John Patrick he likes to be busy. This was like heaven for him.

Proofreading

I really need to start proofreading better. I am always in such a hurry and it doesn't help that my husband superglued the spacebar. You have to pound it to get a space. However, I was reading my blog after I posted it and realized that there were typos. For one we "accepted" Uncle Pat's invitation to Family Day, not excepted. Plus there was a couple more. Very sorry!!!

Mountaineer Field

Uncle Patrick Liebig (Mary Grace's finacee) invited us for Family Day at Mountaineer Field on Sunday and of course we excepted. John Patrick had a ball, except the heat got to him a little. After the funfilled day in Morgantown we headed back to the Burgh. John Patrick turned 18 months today, OMG!!! So we got this morning and headed for the Pittsburgh Zoo. J.P. loves the sea lions. Here are some pics from the last couple of days. Plus some from the farm in Braxton County.

Back in WV

John Patrick and I headed home this past weekend for our cousin T.J.'s wedding. It was nice to see everyone and catch up. T.J. married Amanda Boggs for those of you from Braxton County. What a beautiful bride and a beautiful wedding. J.P. and Pappi John ended up leaving early and headed back to the farm to ride four wheelers and horses, way more fun than a wedding. At least for the men. After being in Braxton for a couple of days we headed to Morgantown to visit Grammy and Pops Martin. John Patrick got his first tricycle and loved it. Even though he couldn't reach the pedals yet, but it will not be too long. We will be heading back to Morgantown for the KLM properties picnic on Saturday. I am sure we will be spending many weekends in Morgantown since Mountaineer football season is just around the corner. YEAH!!

Summer Fun

It has been a long time. I keep telling myself, "You need to blog". We have been so busy, my last blog was right before Christmas. After that we were in Florida for 2 1/2 months, then John Patrick turned one. Crazy!!!! Then summer came and it seems like every weekend we either have a golf tournament that Jason is playing in or we have family gatherings, birthdays or weddings. We did have a special treat right after 4th of July, friends of ours from Florida came in and stayed with us for a week. They have a little 5 months old little girl named Olivia. What a cutie!!! We forgot how much we missed them. Here are some pics from the summer. I promise to be better about keeping up on my blog.

John Patrick visited Santa yesterday and loved him. He did not want to get off of his lap.

Today, is his 10 month birthday. I cannot believe it. Everyone tells you the time flies and it really does. Well, all my Christmas shopping is done, just need to wrap. That is hard to do with a 10 month old. He loves paper, I will just have to wait for a nap. I am sure he will get more than he needs for his 1st Christmas, but he is so easy to spoil. Merry Christmas to everyone. This Christmas is a true blessing to our family, we have John Patrick.

I am back. Sorry, that has taken me so long to report on the Fartin Martins but we have been busy with traveling and the holidays. Jason has been golfing in some tournaments one in North Carolina and one in Jupiter, Florida. So, when he leaves for golf, John Patrick, Stolie and I head to West Virginia.

John Patrick is now standing, he pulls himself up on everything and he tries to walk. It will not be too much longer. His two lower teeth finally came in, right at his 9 month birthday. When he smiles with those teeth, it just melts your heart. At his 9 month well visit, he moved up into the 65th percentile. WOW, at his 6 month visit he was only in the 25th percentile. He is really growing. His grandpa John thinks he is going to be 6'5. It is hard to believe he was 3lbs 9oz. at birth. Here are some pics of the little man. I will try and do better with blogging.
