Happy St. Patrick's Day!
This weekend, we learned that St. Patrick was a missionary to Ireland- who knew that the holiday typically known for it's green beer and luck of the Irish actually has something to do with God? I didn't. Interesting (and sad) how we've turned this day of celebrating St. Patrick's accomplishments (ultimately God's accomplishments) into a day of drunken festivities.
I picked Parker up from daycare today with his stroller- we went on a really long walk- longer than I had planned! I have blisters on my heels to prove it... It was a balmy 74 degrees today. At one point, I was walking past a house with a very large property and big trees; it was a little windy and I could hear the wind blowing through the trees- I felt like God was tickeling my heart and I was amazed at how a simple thing like this reminds me of God's awesomeness and how sometimes that is easy to forget after a cold winter stuck inside.
Ryan continues to stay VERY busy with work. He's really impressed me lately with how well he is handling this busy season. He has done a good job of balancing family and work by coming home for dinner on some nights for a couple hours and then going back to the office when Parker and I start to wind down for the evening. It means a lot to us to have him home during the time of night that we are most active. We look forward to May when work starts to slow down for him- but we are thankful for the work that God has provided both of us.
Parker really likes his toes this week; he also likes anything in his mouth. He's also starting to sleep better- a gift from Heaven! Last night, he actually fell asleep at 7:30 and I had to wake him up at 8:45 to give him a bath... he ended up falling asleep twice while I was giving him a bath and once while I was putting his pajamas on; he must have had a big day with friends at daycare!
