Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!
I'm about 1/64th Irish so I'm totally
validated in wearing green and speaking
in an Irish accent, right??
Actually....in all honesty
I could kind of care less about
St. Patrick's day...I'm not one for
the bar scene...
or beer in general...
but I am a fan of dying your food green
and Corned Beef & Cabbage.
So, In celebration of corned beef & cabbage
I invited my parents and sister over for dinner
Saturday evening.
My mom volunteered to cook the meat...
Thank God, cause the first and only time I tried
to make corned beef it turned into some semblance
of charred jerky.
It was such a beautiful evening
so we had dinner out on the deck and the
food turned out delicious. I had hoped we could
play some games and hang out awhile after dinner,
but my parents scattered like roaches when the
clock struck 6:45 pm...wah
oh the trials & tribulations of having old fogey parents
that live in tim-buk-tu....nobody ever wants
to stick around into the evening. Ohwelll
I didn't take any pictures of dinner..oops.
Today I had fun plans to go shopping
with Rachael and to attend a work friends
baby shower.
It's so fun to see your friends going through
these amazing stages of life...watching
them and their families change.
Having worked at my job for almost 5 years I've
seen plenty of girls get engaged, married and
start having babies.
I work with such generous people who do a
really great job of showering new mommys with
lots of gifts, despite the overwhelming amount
of pregnant women we work with.
This shower was for a sweet girl, Michaela who
Rachael knew previous to her working with us.
She is such a kind-hearted and caring person.
They are having a little boy that they're naming Jonah.
She'll be an amazing mama and I can't
wait to see this little guy!!
Here's a few pictures from the partay...
Rachel, Aja and Laura holding Laura's twins
Ava and Jackson.
Aja is holding sweet baby Claire who is
only 6 weeks old!
Beautiful mommies-to-be!
Rachael and Jenna.
The guest of honor, Michaela!
She looks so great!
I insisted on 'fluffing' my hair prior
to taking this picture...
in the future I think additional fluffing
of my fro will be avoided..eeek
Belly comparison...
Rach still has a ways to go!!
The three bump-eteers!!
(corny-ness is a struggle for me...I apologize)
Rach and I.
Again, I just had to show baby girl some
attention with a little rub..
Can. Not. Wait. for this little one!!
And BONUS...
I found a super-cute pair of skinny
jeans and even a cute pair of shorts
(which is a miracle in itself)
at The Gap today!!
Yay for 30% off coupons and jeans
that fit!!
Summer, you are officially welcome
to make your appearance!
Overall a great weekend!
