We are all looking forward to having this warm weather around for longer! March started quite busy for us, but things are starting to get back to normal. Pete spent 7 days in Dubai and by the looks of the pictures, he really enjoyed himself!

Andrew and I spent lots of quality time together when Pete was gone!
When Pete returned we were able to enjoy Andrew’s first walk around the path by our house.
He was a little surprised that we were letting him walk by himself, especially with no coat or hat on!
As soon as he realized that this was okay he was off, leaving little footprints behind himself.
He found a stick and didn’t even try to put it in his mouth!
We saw some of our neighbors from when we lived in the townhome and visited with them for awhile, meanwhile Andrew grew tired and decided to take a break.
By the end of the walk his pants were all wet and covered in mud.
And we ended up carrying him home the rest of the way.
We had a little celebration at our house this afternoon! I’m on spring break this week, Andrew is getting a break from daycare, and it’s St. Patrick’s Day, so we had shamrock shakes all around!
Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children’s children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
…we needed most of them to corner Andy as he ran about mooing like a cow and yelling duct (duck).
