3 year old pics and Happy Birthday Grandaddy!!

We got Paxton's 3 year old pictures done today. Unlike last time (the ones with Lorelei) he did a great job (These are the unedited versions.) It could of been the extra attention he got or perhaps he was feeling guilty from last photo session. Ok, ok, I guess it was the bribe that I brought along, Almond Joys! A new favorite of the boy. No, I don't keep candy around the house normally, these were left over from a party I went to last weekend and Paxton thought they were ice cream sandwiches (the white and black?). He had to try one and he's been addicted ever since, even though in general he does not like chocolate. Amazingly, Lorelei likes them too! Maybe I should just give her those for her meals, that's extra calories right?

Anyway, Paxton's at that stage now, where he asks questions ALL the time. What is that, where is this, why is that man doing that, etc. And my favorite thing is now he wants to know what we are talking about all the time. "What are you and daddy talking about? What did you say to Grandmama? Where did you say we are going?" No more semi-private conversations that we used to hold over his head. You know the ones where, you think they aren't listening or don't care? I am waiting for a few of things Josh and I have talked about in front of him lately to come back and bite me big time! It's another new phase! By the way, Paxton met his new preschool teacher, Ms. Kathy yesterday at school. She is super sweet, more to come on that later!

On a final note, today is my daddy's birthday! Dad, you are the best dad in the world! You have been there for us through thick and thin! You are Godly example to us and a blessing to me and Josh and Paxton and Lorelei! We love you so much, Happy Birthday!
