St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Menu
I love being Irish “by association.” It gives me the opportunity to try new recipes and have fun with the family.
Tonight we have corn beef and cabbage on the menu. Since the kids like sausage, I’m also making a very easy Dubblin Coddle. I just steam potatoes, sausage, onion, bacon, and carrots in my steamer. for 30 minutes. (I used turkey sausage and turkey bacon for a healthier dish.) I’ll throw in a side salad for some greens and some Irish Soda Bread. For dessert I found this recipe for Bailey’s Chocolate Mousse Pie. I’m just doing the mousse part and leaving out the crust.
To drink: I surprised my beloved Irishman with Guinness on Saturday.
We’ll say the Breastplate of St. Patrick before dinner and kick up our heals with some Irish jigs afterward.

First Dentist Visits
(I’m on a roll catching up with my posts this morning.)
The kids had their first dentist visit last week. We had just added them to the insurance plan last year and this visit was long over due.
But they did great! And Adam gets an A++ for his great brushing and flossing routine with the kids. Even the dental hygienists were impress that he flosses their teeth. No cavities and no meltdowns. 
Even Gianna did great. Fulton and Therese both had x-rays. We did learn that Therese has an extra baby tooth on top next to her canine. But her extra tooth is no indication that she will have an extra permanent tooth. They had a great time and were quite excited with their new tooth brushes and timers. Of course their favorite part was going out to lunch with mom for burgers afterward (because this is probably the first time I have ever taken them out to lunch).

Growing kids
We had a play date with our friends, the Ceys, last week. It’s always neat to see how the kids are growing.
This was last spring:

Not a fan
Just a week shy of 6 months I decided to try Cecilia on some rice cereal. Not a fan. But really who is?
(She reminds me of Baby Face Finster from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons we grew up with.)

RIP Fred McNair
This morning at Mass, we learned that a fellow parishioner, Fred McNair, passed away this weekend unexpectedly in Mexico City attending a conference. It is with great sadness that I share this news. Mr. McNair was very very active in our parish, with Relevant Radio and so many more thing we don’t even know. He was a daily communicant and that is where we know him best always praying for “an increase in God’s call to the priesthood and religious life and for all vocations.”
There is a certain intimacy that comes with sharing daily Mass. You see this little family daily, or at least frequently enough that you ‘know’ each other. And when one person in this family is gone, their physical presence is missed. We know he will be missed by many and we know through the Mass and communion of saints we are still united with our brother in Christ.
Evelyn, his wife, has asked us to pray for her and Fred’s father, and their children and grandchildren. Please also pray that they will be able to receive his body back from the Mexican government this week for his funeral.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. And may your perpetual light shine upon him.

Overheard during bathtime…
Therese: Hey everyone, let’s play John the Baptist!
…I baptize you in the Father (*splash*), the Son (*splash*) and the Holy Spirit(*splash*).

Mat
Fulton read his first book today: Mat.
I think he’s going to move along a lot quicker than Therese in the reading department. He so fun to work with and so excited to learn! I love him.
