Isn't it funny that there is such a big fuss about St. Patrick's Day when no one really knows anything about St. Patrick? I googled him and now think that he's a pretty cool dude. Apparently he is famous for bringing Christianity to Ireland. Seems interesting that people celebrate the day of his death by drinking green beer. :)
This weekend we went to Columbia, MO to visit family. The main reason we went was for Matt to run his first 5K! He did awesome! His goal was to run it in 30 minutes and he ran it in 30:35!! I'm so proud of him!
Lilly came along to show her support, of course. It was a bitter 39 degrees that morning so we waited in the car while he ran. We were parked on the corner of the block, not knowing that the race was marked to run right by the car. I was feeding Lilly when all of a sudden I see a herd of runners panting around the car! Ah! No one seemed to notice since they had just bolted up a steep hill before passing us. We gave Matt a big wave and encouraged him to keep going.
Lilly's cousins Madelyn and Bella were there this weekend and it was fun to see them together. Lilly is almost bigger than Madelyn who is a month older!
Overall the trip went well, except for the part where we tried to go out to eat when we knew we shouldn't. How many times do we have to say "we'll never do that again" before it sinks in! She hates going out to eat!! We had to leave right after we ordered our food. Ugh.
It was so cute to see Lilly's great grandparents loving on her. What a special moment!
We missed church and our friends this weekend. We truly are homebodies and wouldn't have it any other way!
