Happy Birthday, Paul!

Paul, age 3 months

The day Paul was born was really exciting. It was his Grandma Gina's birthday. All her life, Grandma Gina shared a birthday with her big sister, Velyn. Then, on May 13, 1996 the unexpected happened. Velyn and Virginia (Grandma Gina) met at Alta View Hospital for their birthday to welcome two new grandchildren into the world! Velyn's daughter Kirsten gave birth to a darling little girl named Alaina, and Virginia's daughter-in-law Julia gave birth to a handsome little boy named Paul. A quadruple birthday!

Paul has many talents. He is very artistic and excels at drawing, building, and creating. He also enjoys reading, riding his Ripstik, camping, fishing, and hanging out with his friends. He plays the clarinet and is learning to play a really cool song called "Tico, Tico."
