Looking Forward To...

1.)  A trip to Shiner, TX with the family for Brian's 26th Birthday!  Yea!!!  I'll be sure to post about this ;)
2.)  Lucy walking - she does it mostly when no one is watching.  She still crawls the majority of the time, but I know she's really close to being a full-time walker.
3.)  Meeting Anthony Testa!  Brian's sister and husband have a baby boy and, since they live in VA, I haven't seen him yet.
4.)  Last, but not least, Easter!  40 days of waiting, preparation, and prayer.  I know it's close!

We'll be sure to check in more often!

St. Patrick's Day

Boy does it go by fast!  Here's a glimpse of the kids this past St. Patrick's day   :)

My Valentine

What happened to December?

What I didn't post in December?!  Oops!  Well, here are some highlights...

Austin's Park with the kiddos and Nana, Grandpa & Uncle Mac.  Then Christmas in Pflugerville.  New Year's in Arlington.  Daddy and Uncle Mac took Patrick to Six Flags.  Then the cousins celebrated with a trip to the San Antonio zoo.  Lots of fun!

Austin Zoo

We went to the Austin Zoo last Thursday.  It's really an animal sanctuary, but I was pretty impressed with the number of animals that they had.  There were lions, panthers, cougars, tigers, and even a big lazy bear.  I felt like you got a closer look at some of the animals than you typically do at the big zoos.  Anyway, Patrick had a great time. :D

Patrick's 2nd Birthday

Our little guy turned 2 today!  We had a nice day full of coloring, playing with trains, and cake and presents of course.  Well, here's us singing to him if you feel like watching it  :)

4 months / 23 months

Today Lucy is 4 months and Patrick is 23 months!  I was looking at Patrick's 1 year old picture and was noticing how much he's grown in the last year.  He's such a little boy!  We were at the parish Fiesta today and there was a petting zoo.  Patrick had a great time!  He immediately grabbed a little chick with both hands.  "Bird! Bird!"....but it sounds more like "board" when he says it.  I think we all had a good time.  I enjoyed the horchata and carne guisada tacos.  Brian and I also split a funnel cake.  Ah, parish festivals are the best.  "Guinness?  Who has room for a Guinness when there's a tent full of awesome food!"  Anyway, I thought I needed to post some pictures of the kids. :D

Lucy giggles as Daddy sings to her.

Patrick grabbed a chick.
