Merrick loves helping me peel potatoes in the kitchen!
Boy St. Patty sure chose a rainy day to celebrate this year! Rowan's Gaelic football (Irish football) team walked in the San Diego St. Patrick's Day Parade this past Saturday.
Rowan was a trooper! ...well actually, I can say the same about every family member :)
Check out the palm trees in the background, it was windy! They hustled through the practice/scrimage that was held directly after the parade, rain, wind, mud and all!
Somehow we still had smiles on our faces, even being completely drenched head to toe!
OK, now we were really ready to get home!!! I had to get ready and rush off to work, but Ryan and the kids really enjoyed chilling, or actually, warming up together for the evening.
On Sunday, we drove to pick up our good family friend Abigail before heading to church. The kids were more than thrilled to have the privilege of holding a little bunny rabbit at church!
A pet adoption agency brings in small pets which are up for adoption. The kids definitely enjoyed the time spent with this little guy. Next week they are bringing in their giant mascot bunny Wilber, who is absolutely adorable!!!
The Matsiko Children's Choir blessed us with an amazing concert after church service. All of the choir members are orphans from either Peru or Liberia, who have lead very rough lives. It was such a neat experience to appreciate God's love shining through them.. They were such gracious children. I was helping in the kitchen during the luncheon after service and each and every one of the children came into the kitchen to say thank you and give a hug. What loving little sweethearts!
Here is one of the little gems shaking Merrick's hand during the closing song. Ultimately this children's choir was raising money for the Children's Network, who allows anyone to sponser a child so they may go to school or eat regular meals, etc.
After the church festivities were over, we called up the Nevins family to see what they were up to. As soon as we got the green light to come on over, I think we were already half way there ;)
It had been a while since we had seen them, so it was really nice to just sit and chat about everyday life! This weekend ended up being wonderfully exciting and enriching. We are so very blessed everyday of our lives!
