Family meal at a local buffet

Every year we try and get back to Cincinnati, my home town, at least twice. 
This was our Holiday Season trip.

Here's my mother, Margaret with my brother's son Sean. My sister Laura is feeding Paul in the background.

Here's Sean feeding his mom,
Janice while his sister Sara helps.

Laura and Paul. 
I think he had just awakened.

OK, eating is over.
Now for a photo op!

William, Laura, Paul and George.

Two moms, two kids:
Maria and Paul,
Ryan and Jan.

Paul hand-checking Ryan.

Paul is very outgoing.

Sara had met Paul at his baptism 
back home in New Jersey, 
so they were old buddies.

Paul was fascinated with the
"presents" on the walls.

"OK, mom, I'm ready
for this to be over now"

"Oh wait, maybe not."

Later in the trip we made it to the Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of Lights. Unfortunately, it was incredibly cold and Paul was not very comfortable. We had to quit shortly after we got there. Next year we will be better prepared!

On New Year's Day,
we had a little party in
our hotel.

Paul Great-Grandmother
gave him a present!

This little thing has turned out to be one of his favorite toys. It plays music and/or says the name of the thing depicted on each button. Lots of fun.

Paul had just really started taking independent steps Christmas week and the suite we had afforded him excellent mobility with lots of low things he could use as he walked around the room.

Here's my nephew Jeremy at the party. 

My dear friend Brian Garry was there also but I didn't manage to get his picture. Bummer.

This was a wonderful trip. Paul was pretty sick on the airplane and after we arrived, but with 24 hours he was back to normal and we got to see almost everyone we wanted. Brad Ogle was missed however.

Next stop: Winter Fun 2002
