St. Patrick's Day and A Nice Weekend

Last week, Esperanza School had their annual St. Patrick's Day parade, and this year Natalie and Owen were both in it (last year, Owen had to watch from the sidelines). Henry watched from a wagon this year, and Natalie and Owen had fun marching. Natalie was giving her princess wave to everyone, and Owen was blowing a little toy horn. That was a nice mid-morning break and fun to see the kids. The weather over the weekend was beautiful. We did some work outside, and Saturday night, Nat, Owen, & Henry went to Rainbow Kids - yes, Henry is finally old enough! Ike and I had tickets to see the Roy Hargrove Quintet - it was awesome! Sunday, Natalie and Owen did some bike/trike riding and checked out the new bike path that's going in by our house. Owen is ready for a big bike - he's a speed demon on that tricycle! We're starting to prepare Natalie for taking the training wheels off. It will be time soon. Henry just ran around. He's not quite ready for biking - I put him on the little bike and he wasn't interested in using the pedals. So it was a nice way to finish off the weekend. Ike has a trip to New York this week and I'm going to New Orleans next week, so it'll be busy around here.
