We met with the doctor today and Colm's surgery has been scheduled for March 14. He has three hernias-one in his abdomen and two in his scrotum. It will be outpatient surgery. He is a tough little guy.

Lent Activity for Kids
Author: Nina / Labels: UncategorizedI love this idea...I got it from a calendar that I think Liam got at SOR. If you start now you won't be too far behind. Get a vase and for each day of Lent add a flower. By the time Easter rolls around you have a beautiful vase full of flowers. (Yes, some of them will die. You can either replace them or not.) You can also draw a vase on a piece of paper and have your child draw a flower each day. Another idea is to make a 2-dimensional vase out of paper and make a flower each day to put in the vase. Any way you do it you will have a bunch of flowers on Easter Sunday.
House Update
Author: Nina / Labels: UncategorizedNow that the weather is above freezing and there's not ice/snow on the ground anymore, we FINALLY have some action on our house. We drove by today and there are stakes in the ground and a SOLD sign on our lot! We're making progress! Also, I took the boys to play at the playground in our new development and we met two of our backdoor neighbors and they both have boys that are Liam's age. The moms also told me that there are NO GIRLS in the neighborhood...we should fit right in. :)
National Pancake Day
Author: Nina / Labels: UncategorizedI LOVE National Pancake Day. If you go to IHOP you can get a free shortstack. (Put this on your calendar for next year. It will be on Fat Tuesday.) We fed a table of ten today for seven and some change because we ordered drinks and some sausage and bacon. The place was packed, but it was fun to get together and have pancakes for lunch.
Liam’s FINAL Party
Author: Nina / Labels: UncategorizedWe had the family party today. We had lasagna, salad and yummy bread and dipping sauce from Bravo (thanks, Pam!). Liam did not want a traditional cake, he wanted little cheesecake bites, so that's what we had. They were good, too! Liam is SO into Star Wars right now. It cracks me up! He has never seen Star Wars. We have checked out a book from the library before, but that is really all of the Star Wars background he has. After this party, he has enough Star Wars stuff to keep him busy for quite some time.
