Leprechaun/St. Pat's Day

Image
A leprechaun visited us! He left glitter everywhere! He even left a scavenger hunt and a pot of gold. COOL! Mommy's little leprechauns Jack created a very elaborate trap with his circuit board, complete with a string-trip and "bait" (aka chocolate), plus enticing signage to lure in the leprechauns. They sniffed around but didn't trigger it in the night... Jack knows because he slept in the living room nearby. Pots of gold! Clara checks out that leprechaun trap to be sure it works OK....

Spring Baseball

Image
GO PHILLIES! Jack has joined our local league and is doing great! Mostly plays third base and right outfield. He's had several hits and now an RBI! Go little man!!! (He chose 21 for "blackJack", and because Daddy's number was 22 :) ) He's getting to be a pretty good batter--as long as he keeps his eyes open!! 

Clara Gets Tubes :(

Image
Our poor babies... Mama gave them small pipes. Clara needed tubes in her ears so on 3/12 we were off to Children's Hospital for the 5 minute surgery (with hours of prep of course). She's cured!

NASDAQ Market Opening, March 7!

It was Joe's third time ringing the opening bell--lucky him/us/Volcano!! This time it was a family adventure (Clara was with us in spirit, but in body back home safe and WARM with Grandma!!!). See below for the shenanigans. "OK, kids, show me how you ring the bell!" (Center is our friend Sage, whose mom works for Volcano too! Oh, and his parents both went to Duke, so we all love them :) ) Analyst room, pre-event Know what's WEIRD? Seeing yourself on the side of a building in Times Square.  Post-bell celebration by dancing with random bunny/M&M at the M&M store And ice skating with Aunt Muffin at Rockefeller Center Phew! Long day! Time to get back home!
