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!

This year Paul turned 12. He received the Aaronic Priesthood, visited the temple for the first time, and had a fun birthday party.

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."

They grow up too fast. I wish I could somehow slow it down. I'd love to have John and Jacob play again and Ellen could always use a buddy. I'll let you know when we go again. I am at the gardens as often as possible. I love it there.
