Today I have come to the sad realization that my almost three-year-old has worn out the welcome mat on napping. What a bummer. . . However, work on our house is progressing and that brightens my day. On Sat. our builder sent us pics of the back-filled footprint of our house and told us that this week they will be connecting to city pipes, and then laying the basement and garage floors. From there it moves onward and upward as next week they begin framing! By the time we come to Utah at the end of April, beg. of May we will be able to walk through our entire house!!! I am more than excited. This weekend Ryan and Brooklyn will be in one of St. Louis' St. Patricks Day parades. There are two here; the city parade, and the Dogtown parade. Dogtown is the Irish sector, and they, remaining purist and VERY CATHOLIC (go IRISH!), only have their parade on St. Pats, whatever day that may be. After the parade we are going to suprise Ryan and Brooklyn by going to High School Musical on ice. I will have to post pictures Sat. night of the day's events.
