HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL!

Our last youngun still at home, is today a teenager. His oldest brother was 16 when he was born. He was a true "caboose," if you know what I mean.

Man, where did the time go?

He was born June 3, 1996 at San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington, NM. Y'all don't know Paul. He's different from the other three boys...got some unique ways, and challenges.

What a joy he is...and what joy he brings to our home.

He always has a joke ready for you, and laughs easily. His understanding of irony, and satire amaze me. He picks up on things that I would think are WAY over his head. He's funny...funny "ha ha." And I think that he is the sweetest, kindest child I've known.

Hmmm...a teenager...

I'm getting old.

  2. Thanks Staci! Paul is a real sweetheart. He is autistic...mildly so, and a genius in many ways.

    We knew early in his life that something was "up." Heh...The Mrs. took him to see the movie "Up" today. He had a good time, and we're having a big home-made chocolate chip cookie cake dealie to celebrate tonight.
