I added some art in our dining room. I bought the pictures off Etsy then went to Michael's for the frames.

Playing hard

"Hey Mom"

Chicken Stew

Today we had a play date at the pool. We met with five moms and their babies. It was alot of fun and Jude was worn out afterwards.

"Why are you waking me up, Momma?"...

"Swimming??!! Ok, I'm up!"

Apparently we take up an entire section. The crazy part? There are two other carseat not in the picture. So many babies....

Jude and Ms. S. (I was told by L that I could put her picture on my blog.) As you can see Jude is already falling asleep. This was taken right after swimming. I always feed Jude right after so he'll fall asleep in the car and nap for hours.

John and I decided to throw a St. Patrick's Day party for all of our friends. It was also kind of  a house warming party. We had a TON of fun. After we hang out with our friends, John and I always say how blessed we are to have such wonderful people in our lives here. We no longer dislike it here. I know when we leave it will break my heart to leave our new "family".

I baked mint chocolate cupcakes. They were OMG delicious.

Sabina took some pictures of the babies....

Jude (while eating lunch)

and good ole' Riley

Riley has had a few rough weeks. About 2 weeks ago John noticed he was cutting their walks short because his leg was bothering him. We also noticed he was scratching his ear alot. The night after our party, Riley stepped on a piece of glass and couldn't walk. We had to wait until the morning to bring him to the vet. They were able to get the glass out, but learned he also has a torn ACL in his back leg, an ear infection, and a mass on his side. We knew about the mass, but wanted the vet to check it out. They said it could be fatty tissue but they can biopsy it to make sure.

This wasn't our normal vet so Riley came home and we scheduled an appointment to check it out next week. But he's on "bed rest" until his leg heals. Poor dog has cabin fever. So does John. John's not quite sure what to do without his nightly walk. (And yes, I meant John, not Riley.)

Jude was trying to get his toy and in doing so pulling up his legs in crawling position. Once again, by the time I got the camera he was over it and that's not at all on this video. :)
