St. Patty's Parade


Saturday was Charlotte's annual St. Patrick's Day parade uptown. Ava loved it when we took her to the Thanksgiving Day parade, so we thought we'd go for round two and celebrate her and Jim's Irish bloodlines. The parade was a lot of fun. We rode the train uptown (one of Ava's favorite things to do), drank hot chocolate, and watched a lot of cool groups and floats pass by. Ava got a green beaded necklace at the parade that she wore the entire rest of the weekend. She even sleeps with it. Afterwards, we ate at a burger joint uptown before heading back home on the train. Fun times :)

Audrey had her one month appointment last week. She's in the 65th % for both height and weight and the 50th for head circumference. She weighs 9 lb 14 oz... she's packing on the pounds quickly! She already eats 5-6 ounces per feeding which we find simply astronomical! We're not sure when she's going to slow down, but we hope it's soon. Saturday night we watched the Boiler's win in the NCAA tournament at our good friends, The Cains, house. Everyone was in Purdue gear, even Ava and Baby Drew! We're going to Boiler Up together again Thursday night, although we're pretty sure that will be the end of the road for our beloved Boilers :(

Lastly, we finally got patio furniture for our screened in porch! We spent most of Sunday assembling it. Last night Jim and I tested it out with a nice cold Blue Moon in our hands. We got a huge sectional sofa and a loveseat. We also got two club chair rockers that we're going to put on our upstairs balcony. I'll post pictures of everything later this week.
