I am too smart for this weather, and I know it's not going to last. We will still battle cold days for at least another 2 months. But the weather for the past 2 weeks or so has been nothing short of amazing! And it has been a preview of how much fun this summer is destined to be. Our little girl loves being outside, so much so that she often cries when it's time to come in. Understandably, we have all been spending as much time outside as possible. Here are some pics of us enjoying the lovely weather.

Swings are a big hit too!

Dinner outside at the Highland House to celebrate St. Patty's Day... and Gammy and Grandpa's 34th wedding anniversary! Happy anniversary to the Rymers!
One of Miri's new favorite activities... "cheers"-ing! Slainte, baby!
Perfect bib for our Irish lassie!
Hope you all enjoyed this beautiful St. Patrick's Day!
This week we celebrated both my girls getting a little bit older. Two days ago, March 6th, was Alli's thirty-somethingth birthday (I am a true gentleman, and a true gentleman never reveals m'lady's age). Unfortunately, this year it fell on her least favorite day of the week (her most stressful day between work and a hectic evening routine taking care of our family-- don't know what we'd do without her!). Anyways, kind of a quiet one this year-- pizza, cake, and family. Futher celebrations to follow... this woman deserves to be spoiled!
The Birthday Girl and Miri
Only one year earlier!
So that little comparison brings us to our next big event this week. Today Miri turned 18 months old! One-and-a-half!! So what do you get a girl when she turns 1.5? How about 3 shots in the thigh?! Yup, today we brought Miri in for her eighteen month appointment. The nurse struggled a bit against a very upset little baby...ahem...toddler, but was able to confirm her at 30 3/4 inches tall and 19lbs 14.5oz...and in case you're tracking, a 46cm head. After that, Miri calmed down as the doctor told us she was right on track with her development...or even a bit ahead, as he said she was "talking like a 2-year-old!" That's our little smarty pants!!
