Wordless Wednesdays: Gig 'Em!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

We had big plans to go to the infamous NYC St. Patrick's Day parade, but sometimes plans changes with two kids who are 3 & under. We started the afternoon off with lunch at our favorite child-friendly haunt, Brother Jimmy's.

After lunch we planned to head to the parade, but the girls were a little tired out and Red said she wanted to go home.

Of course, as soon as we passed a park, Delilah got a second wind and we spent the next hour or so playing our hearts out.  I LOVE watching our girls play together!!!

It's like she was created specifically for St. Patrick's Day.  Seriously, I birthed a leprechaun.

Hope everyone had fun and nobody got pinched!  We'll try to catch the parade next year!!

Bailey's Baptism

Last weekend, I flew to Michigan to celebrate the baptism of Kurt & Joie's youngest daughter, Bailey.  Chris & I are the godparents of Bailey's older sister, Avari, so I went as the Team Huntley representative.  I am swamped with school work, so I can not give this post the attention it deserves, but I'm afraid if I postpone writing it, it will never get written!
I flew out on Saturday morning, and returned home Monday night.  A quick trip, but absolutely lovely.  I stayed with Kurt's family and they were beyond gracious...felt like a member of the family.  Saturday night was dinner and a hockey game, Sunday was baptism and party, and Monday was traveling day.  It was an odd experience to be by myself for so long, and I tried to take advantage of it.  I adore my girls, but the ability to sit for extended periods of time and have adult conversations or read a book was quite refreshing.  And I loved getting to hang out with Kurt, Joie, Avari, & Bailey.  I hate that we are now a 4 hour plane ride away from each other instead of a 4 hour car ride.  Also had a great time with Bailey's godparents, Debbie & Chris.  We got along as though we've known each other forever.

Upon getting home, I walked into a spotless house. Chris & the girls were at swim lessons, and he had cleaned the whole place for me. It was so nice, but I have to admit I was almost mad at him for making it look easy...until he fell asleep at 8:45pm that night after making me promise to never leave again. :)
