Catching up - Family update

I have plenty of excuses, including business and loss of pix due to my phone being flushed (again) but I won't bore you with the details and instead I'll do a quick update since out last post at the end of January! We have been having lots of fun and trying to enjoy the sporadic nice weather! The annual Irish fest in the neighborhood was as fun as always! Below is Kyle enjoying cake! At one point during the event, Kyle ran up to me with his knuckles all bloody and scrapped up. He was just showing me, not fussing about it. All I had to clean him up was a baby wipe, which typically hurts an open wound so every time I'd touch his boo-boo, I'd ask him if it hurt. Each time, he'd respond very simply, "no". Finally, he got fed up with my constant question, and said, "Nothin Huts Me!!" (you need to say that with a slight Arnold Schwarzenegger accent) He is so funny!! We have also enjoyed a bunch of fun birthday parties!

and fun times with our neighbors!

In late February, Kyle and Eric went to the Monster Truck Jam and Riley and I went to see a movie! Check out her little shoulder turn for the 3-D glasses pix!

Below is a pix of the kids playing together at a Grace playdate. They are so cute right now - they just love playing with each other so much and typically play exclusively together when we are out with a bunch of friends. I imagine there is a bit of a security there and it won't last for ever, but it is cute for now!

And of course, happy birthday to Daddy!! We had a bunch of celebrations for Eric, including a fun night out (not with the kiddos) to see a local band!

Riley has also been working hard to earn her fit for life miles! She and I run/walk a few miles each week and she has already finished her "marathon". Below is a bunch of kids from the neighborhood after running about 2 miles!

and it wouldn't be right for me to not mention the super sad loss of both the Steelers in the super bowl (pix below) and the VCU Rams loss in the final 4 championship! Go Team(s)!!
