Week with my Uncle's





Uncle Chris and Uncle Ryan left this morning to go back to NJ. We were very lucky that they were able to visit as long as they did. Here are a few pictures from the week that they were here teaching me a few new things and playing in the snow!

Christmas 2007


What a special Christmas this was for all of the Redferns. Little Paul was a delight during Christmas Eve (at mommy and daddy's house), Christmas morning opening up tons of presents (and helping everyone else with theirs), and at Gram and Grandad BB's house Christmas day. Grandma and Grandpa Redfern, along with Uncle Chris and Uncle Ryan, stayed with us for Christmas and Aunt Char and Charles came as well.

Little Paul got a basketball hoop, a slide/swing for the backyard, tunnels in which to crawl (mommy and daddy got stuck!), a sled, a cool garage with three cars, a john deere tractor to ride and much more (Santa was very nice to him- he's been a good boy this year :). The best gift of all was having all of our family here to celebrate Christmas- Uncle Chris even stayed for a few extra days and Uncle Ryan came back and stayed for a few extra days.

Another of little Paul's "presents" was to have ear tubes put in the day after Christmas to help reduce the fluid that had built up (and to alleviate his common ear infections from this fall). Mommy and daddy had an early morning (and then a long day) taking him to Hanover Hospital. When he was under anesthesia, the doctor also removed Paul's adenoids (they're between your nose and throat along the line of your ears) since they were really big and clogging things up for him. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper afterwards and has taken some time to feel like himself again. Mommy and daddy go back to work on Wednesday and were happy to be able to watch him the past few days as he's recovered.

December 23



We had a great day today. Last night Paul and Leigh-Anne celebrated Christmas with Uncle Dave and Aunt Angie in Lancaster while Paul III stayed over Grandma and Grandpa Bennett's house. This morning we woke up and went down to the Bennett's to see Paul and open some gifts from the grandparents.

One of Paul's favorite toys is pictured here a new John Deere tractor! You can see Daddy took the corner a little too fast and Paul III sort of fell off... notice the sheep toy in Paul III's mouth.
