new blog: thestateofpate.com
We have literally outgrown "pate, party of 3" with the addition of Lainy.
Come see the new and improved blog. It's like PPo3 on HGH but without congressional hearings.

Big Brother Caden
We were initially a little worried about how Caden would react to having another Pater Tot in the house, but those went away quickly. So for he is turning out to be a great big brother.

she's here!! (the 1st preview)
Alaina (Lainy) Harper Pate was born today. Everyone is fine. More pictures coming soon. I'm tired....and I did the least amount of work today.
This is a post birth picture. It ain't pretty...buts its real.
As you can glean from above, we have landed on Harper as the middle name. In keeping with a literary theme for middle names (Caden's is Crusoe), Harper comes from one of my favorite books To Kill a Mockingbird (highly recommend the movie too if you haven't seen it). Harper Lee is the author.

surf and turf
When Janelle and I started dating in college, we were both servers. Obviously, Valentine’s Day is a big day in the restaurant industry, so our first couple Valentine’s were spent apart…..working.
Once we moved on to 9 to 5’s, we had a newfound freedom on Valentine’s, but also knowing the chaos at restaurants, we weren’t in any rush to get in the back of the lines. So one of the first Pate traditions emerged. We buy some steaks and lobster tails and make an extravagant meal at home. It now is truly a day I look forward to every year. Happy Valentines everyone
