Auntie Chris' Little "Leprechauns"


Happy (Belated) Patrick's Day Everyone!
Sorry, I didn't update the blog for Paddy's Day ... I know its been Valentine's Day on our blog for quite awhile now ... a fact my mother reminds me every time I talk to her. She LOVES seeing her picture when she checks to see if I have updated anything (not!). So, thanks to the lovely Leanne, I have now updated to at least Paddy's day :0)

Above is a picture from tonight. Abi and Nathan are actually sleeping soundly upstairs after a fun evening of "TICKLES!", "Gideon", "Making Coffee" (Nathan) and "Bouncing", "Crawling", "Climbing", "Standing", and "Pulling Auntie's hair and laughing" (Abi). We are looking after the kids tonight while Bryce and Carolyn go for dinner with family. We had the best time with our neice and nephew tonight. They are very cute and very easy to be around. The three of us above as well as Bryce and Carolyn are nursing colds, but as you can see we are still in "great form". We hope all of you enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day wherever you are. Ours was ... memorable in its own way ...

Joel has learned to not venture out on Paddy's Day for much needed groceries: (a) traffic is insane, (b) stores are insane and cleaned out, (c) shopping requires travel to several shops to get items from wife's list! I have learned not to be sick on Paddy's Day and not to send Joel with a grocery list to find required items on said Paddy's day :0) Ahh, we survived it all and had a wonderful evening with Bryce, Carolyn, Nathan, and Abi at our place as we celebrated our friend Johnny's (belated) birthday (he was also at our place too, oops)!

Well, I must go for now. I will try to update more later this week. Stay tuned ... By the way, thank you so much to those of you who are checking our blog and enjoying it! Also, we love to read the comments some of you leave so please keep leaving them ... it helps to know that you are interested and encourages us to keep updating (although belatedly at times, I apologize)

Yay you updated!!! So so happy to hear how you are doing... And to see pics of Abigail and Nathan!
Had Shawn and Suz here for the weekend... tried to get pics of all the boys together... impossible!!! Unless you count the ones where Levi is in the background running away!!
Suite is almost done. If we didn't know you were right where you are supposed to be we'd be petitioning you to move in!
Love and hugs to you!
Leanne, Jeremy and Sammy

Hi guys!

Congratulations on your first St. Paddy's day in Ireland! Did it live up to expectations? We think of you often! Brendan's growin' like a weed and learning to say more and more. Most used sentence right now is... "toc milk pease" which is translated "Chocolate milk please." Blame his mother for introducing him to this habit!
Love you guys - miss you too! Hi to Bryce & Carolyn & Nathan & Abi for us.
