My son!
Seeing my first born brought tears of joy to Sally and me. He is indeed a gift from God!

Can't wrestle yet. Nicky seems eager to play wrestling with Pat who is barely one month old. Not yet, Nick.

Dedicated to the Lord
On August 15, 1993, a Sunday, Patrick was dedicated to the Lord by his parents. Pastor Ross Tarroja, a close friend of Nicky officiated the ceremony. |

Hyper at five months. Since Pat was a very active baby, he would often fall off the bed (don't tell him) or jump out of his crib. Here's the little tiger in one of his playful moods.

Baguio: our favorite place
Here's Patrick on a horse. He's very much frustrated since the horse was meant just for posing. Later on, he was able to ride one that actually moves. Hi, ho! |

Patrick at four
At four, Patrick began going to school at Elinwood Kindergarten School. Although he enjoyed school, he was very much stressed. We would often bring him to different places to help him be relieved of his stress. |
He really loves horses, doesn't he? This one's not alive, however. He's riding a carousel at Enchanted Kingdom. It'll do for now.

One of the class clowns!
Literally, that is. Patrick is seen here as one of the clowns during their school presentation. |
