Green Machine

I have decided that St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday...just for the simple fact that I love the color green. And it is definitely a day where green is prevalent!  I usually realize, on March 16, that my kids don't have anything green to wear, and then I try to throw something together. Not this year! I was prepped with green shirts for all, and in fact, I even dressed G in green earlier in the week, leading up to the day.  What's even better is that G's daycare had rainbow day on Friday, and G's class was chosen to wear green!  (I never realized how much green he has in his closet...whew!)

Even Black Bear got in the spirit and wore a green hat!



My work had a fun St. Patty's Day party on Thursday afternoon/night, and at home, Scott made an Irish dinner...the corned beef and cabbage was quite fragrant throughout the house!

The Get Lucky triplets - Dee, Chris, Matt


This was Amy's last BIW party...but we'll still be walking/running those 5ks together!


We also had our good friends spend Saturday night with us...those crazy girls were up until almost midnight. I have a feeling there might be some crabby pants in our house today!

Waiting patiently for our table for dinner...


G had a great first week in his new room at daycare...he's made new friends, is sitting on the potty, and is eating with the big kids. Looks like his transition has been a success!

Let's not forget that today is the first day of Spring! I can hear the birds chirping, and I'm hoping there's not snow on the ground when I peek out the window in a few minutes...that was a crazy surprise yesterday morning to see everything covered in white.  I much prefer the green!

Beautiful flowers to remind me Spring is here!


I came home this week to this nice message on our driveway..."Dad" is the blob between Mom and Garrett!


Happy Sunday, Happy Spring!

Exploring Local Places

By
Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

By
The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit.  This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage.  Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough.  I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together.  They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so!  We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge.  I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm.  And of course, Ava wa...

Easter 2026

By
We celebrated a wonderful Easter Sunday with our small family at home, and then with my parents, Scott's mom, and brother at Deb's house. The sun was shining for the first time in days, which lifted everyone's spirits. The food was great, the conversation was flowing, and it was the perfect way to end the weekend. The Easter Bunny loves these kids! The EB didn't forget Pria! On an Easter egg hunt...looking for the golden egg Lovely tulips from Aldi - they were a bit sad when I brought them home, but fresh water perked them up within a day! Love these two! G had his first jazz band concert this past Tuesday. He had a lot of fun playing the music, but he decided it wasn't really his style. I'm glad he gave it a shot, though! While G was playing jazz licks, Arya was performing in a Solo & Ensemble competition at RHS. She ended up earning a Superior rating, which surprised us, considering she decided to participate at the very last minute and didn't practice...
