Happy St. Patrick's Day!

And what a day it has been!  With absolutely nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day!  :)

Today, Natalie tried her first solid foods - rice cereal with breast milk.  She hated it.  Nothing went down.  Her face contorted when we put it in her mouth and her tongue just pushed everything out.  Ok.  Not ready for solids.  Got it.  So stop grabbing my silverware and cups every time I go to eat and drink my own stuff!!!  ;)

Alli had quite a victory with the bicycle.  Ok, it's actually a balance bike, which is a bicycle without pedals.  The kids just scoot with their feet and then learn the balancing part of riding a bike.  Well, she figured out how to balance and she was going back and forth across the driveway for quite a bit of time this afternoon.  Actually, until she decided to get daring and be like daddy, and instead lost control and caught herself right before she hit a cactus - almost.  We found out 5 minutes after we pulled her out of the wreckage that part of her foot really did hit the cactus and Kim had to pull thorns out of her toes.  Bike riding was done for the day.  Oops!

Kim and I toasted with some Irish whiskey - Redbreast.  It was a good day for the fam.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
