congrats to aunt fifi for being our ExpectNet winner!
she guessed a boy on april 22nd...is that amazing or what?

paige is loving being a big sister- she is doing really well. i think having a baby around has made her advance towards two a little bit earlier...but we expected her to have some difficulty with the whole thing. all in all she is doing pretty well and even when she is throwing a fit or not listening she is making us laugh a lot. her latest thing is telling us "bye,bye" when she doesn't want us watching her do something she is not supposed to do. she is too smart.

some family pics!

grant turned one week old yesterday!
we just love our little peanut. he is such a sleepy head...we call him the turtle because he is rarely awake and when he does decide to wake up he opens his little eyes like a turtle as if to say "wow...i've been in my shell for a long time."

i had to take a comparison picture of paige and grant at one week...he is so tiny and sleepy!

we have seen dr. kratzer a lot lately...we love him and his staff!
and paige has wooed all the nurses...they just love her.

"YOU DID WHAT - TO MY WHAT?" (grant after his little operation)daddy & paige have been working in the yard everyday. we are enjoying this weather and going outside as much as possible...the fresno heat will soon be upon us!

More pictures of the baby...

Here are a few more from the birth day and from today...

It's a boy!!

Grant Andrew Panfilio was born on Wednesday, April 22 at 9:17am. He was 6 lbs, 7 oz and 18.5" long. We are all home now and enjoying time with Grant and his "big sister" (as Paige calls herself). Everyone is doing well...will post more later.

...less than a month & some old pics!

it's that time again for all of you to make your guesses on ExpectNet for the baby. Let's see how you do...Ryan was the winner with Paige...let's see if he can keep his title! Click on the link to the right to play and have fun! Only one more month until this little baby is here...we are counting the days!


also, here are a few old pictures that we just got developed (we have a really nice camera that uses film and so we forget to take the pictures in). these are from our trip to Redding last spring to attend my cousin Todd's graduation. we had a great trip and i cannot believe how much paige has changed since then...i knew she was chubby but it's easy to forget because she has changed so much since then!

paige loves uncle ray - he was her protector at the top of this viewpoint
