Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

 In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I pulled out a few decorations I had made:

St. Patrick’s Prayer

Christ with me,

Christ before me,

Christ behind me,

Christ in me,

Christ beneath me,

Christ above me,

Christ on my right,

Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down,

Christ when I sit down,

Christ when I arise,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.

Sunday rhythms

As a family, we have been attending the 5pm Sunday service for the high school service and so we can attend together, and afterward we grab dinner together. This last week we had poke at Uroku.

These memories are so sweet (and tasty…)

taking a drive…

 Whenever we take a little date around town, we take Huggs. He just makes it more fun. in this particular date, we went to our downtown and grabbed some dirty horchatas (horchata mixed with coffee) and then headed home for gardening.

I am so thankful for players and families that we love that we get to spend these days with...

Time together for birthday traditions...

Over the weekend, Eden and I spent mother/daughter time to do some birthday shopping.  We have made this a tradition over the last few years and I love that she wants the one on one time with me, with lots of laughing and great conversations.  Our location of choice is Irvine Spectrum. 

Much of my time is sitting in a shaded spot with my book while my girl explores and I don’t have to hover…

We just love the time so much!

Getting an early start…

 We decided to plant our garden a little earlier this year and I am so excited to watch everything grow!

Also, a moment for my fig tree:

We planted tomatoes, peppers, basil and cilantro. We can’t wait!

puttering with the Huggs

 These two have been having so much fun tinkering and puttering and learning all the things about this truck. 

I am just so happy for them!
