Finally - warm(ish) weather!

 It was finally warm enough outside to have practice!!  It wasn't warm for sure but it was at least comfortable enough to be running around!  The girls had a great time - it's so nice to finally be outside!!!

Lacrosse!

 Emmy and Aoife had their second lacrosse practice today! The first one was outside in the freezing sleet so I didn't get any pictures!  They are so excited to play!  We had practice today at an indoor facility out in Fairfax because the weather has been so cold and snowy!!

More Snow!

It snowed again today!  Declan couldn't even wait to go outside so Brendan took him out and they shoveled the driveway - in the middle of the blizzard!  It was covering it almost as fast as they could shovel.  Declan didn't mind though - he would have stayed outside all day!!

Aidan's 10th Birthday!!

 Aidan turned 10 today!!!  It's hard to believe that it's been a decade since he was born!  He's lived in six houses, two countries and gone to four elementary schools!  He's such an awesome kid and I'm so proud of how resilient he is and what a good leader and person he is growing up to be.  I'm excited for the future - watching him grow up is quite and experience!

 Declan is sad because he wanted some Fruit Loops - we never have sugary cereals but turning 10 is a big deal!!

 Aidan decided he wanted Red Velvet cake instead of the traditional Chocolate Birthday Cake - I guess he's old enough now to make these kind of serious decisions!

Visiting the Monuments with Mimi

 Mimi came to visit us this weekend and it was so warm on Sunday afternoon that we decided to go for a walk around the monuments.  It was so nice to be outside for the first time in a while!!

Potty Training Update

Declan is doing so well!!  It took about a week but now I am about 95% confident that we can go out of the house and not have an accident.  This is about as good as it's going to get for a year or so.  Who would have thought that he would have been the easiest one yet??  So proud of my little buddy!!
