Our "Pancake Tuesday" feast

Laura really enjoyed her ice cream after swimming on Thursday!



Things have been rather low key around here lately. Patrick and the kids all had colds last week so they were rather miserable. Connor and Laura have been asked to be the ring bearer and flower girl in one of Pat's friend's wedding. Laura is supposed to wear red dress so I have been on the hunt. This is the wrong time of year to find red! I was starting to think I was going to have to make one, which really won't be a big problem, when I found one on clearance at Macy's. It's really cute with little capped sleeves and ribbon and bows in a lattice design on the skirt. On Thursday, Connor and Patrick had a "guys afternoon". They went out for lunch, to have their tux fittings and get a hair cut. Patrick says Connor is going to be soooo cute in a tux. On Friday, Patrick took L:aura out for lunch and they ran a few other errands. They really liked having Day to themselves for while. Sophie has a few new tricks. She has figured out how to sit up on her own and how to "really" crawl, not just scoot. Her biggest trick is standing up! She figured this out about a week and a half ago. Now you can't keep her down! She climbs on everything and it makes her so happy! Once she gets standing up, she gets a big grin.
