St. Patrick's Day Weekend

The weather this weekend was too good to not take advantage of, so we started it at the nicely wooded dog park with Daisy girl and then headed for a round of golf before going to see an Irish band at night. We spent all day Sunday Spring cleaning and taking care of life maintenance items, which felt very good, and the finished it off with a braai! This weekend was so good that I wanted to place it on here to remember that stepping back from a crazy schedule is healthy and, sometimes, necessary.

Happy Birthday to Mom!

We celebrated my mother's birthday at a local restaurant with the immediate gang. It was a fun night with great conversation and many laughs, mostly initiated by our youngest family member, Carter :)
