I Went to the KC St. Patrick's Day Parade, and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt!

Last week, we took the kids to the Kansas City St. Patrick's Day Parade. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, we found a great parking spot, had a great view of the festivities - the event was awesome! As we were leaving, a lady was handing out t-shirts for advertisement purposes, and Elijah snagged one. It was just a cheap, cotton t-shirt, but Elijah thought it was fantastic!! He couldn't believe someone gave him a "grown-up" t-shirt of his very own, and he proceeded to wear it over his clothing for the next few days. He was especially thrilled that he could save it and wear it when he becomes a daddy.

Spring Break!

Elijah, Callan, Aedan, and Mommy enjoyed a fun week last week! Their grandmother, Nini, and cousin, Lola, from Chicago were in town, and they really enjoyed their time with them! Callan was especially thrilled to celebrate her 3rd birthday with them.
This past weekend, we all went to Mountain Home, Arkansas to visit Jeremy's grandmother, grandfather, and two great-aunts! We have had some wonderful visits with lots of relatives we rarely see.

Ouchie!

Elijah took a spill from his bike the other day and had some "ouchies" on his forehead to show for it. The burning sensation from these scrapes was bothering him, and he was describing this to me and his dad. The description was priceless in four-year-old lingo, as you can imagine! He informed us that his ouchies were "spicy hot" and that he didn't like that. Priceless, huh?

Movie Night Update

Back in October on this blog, I wrote about our Friday Family Movie Night that we started. I am proud and very happy to report that we have continued to consistently do this activity, and it has become a staple of our entire week!! Elijah and Callan talk all week about movie ideas, and they love to guess what kind of candy Daddy will buy them for this event! We have grown to love these movie nights and cannot imagine a Friday night without them.
Elijah and Callan are especially excited that next Friday night we will have 2 guests joining us! Log on next week to find out who they are...

Extrovert Extraordinaire

As many of you know, our sweet Elijah LOVES people. He is a people-person if ever one existed!! If someone walks by our yard and he's outside, he immediately greets them and introduces himself. His way of telling someone they're his friend is by saying, "I love you." He definitely wears his heart on his sleeve!!
The other day, I had taken him to Costco. As we walked through the parking lot, he enthusiastically waved to some people (let's put it this way - anyone who walked or drove by!). I said to him, "Elijah, you just love people, don't you?"
He smiled and said, "Yes, I really do. God just made me that way."
My heart melted, and I gave him a HUGE kiss!!!
