So Lucky

I was probably in 6^th grade before I realized not everybody has the same things going on at home. My daughter is in 2^nd. Like a normal morning Ria was lollygagging and I told her she had better get going or I was going to have to beat her, I was kidding. Rianne turned to me in all seriousness and said "Mom did you know there really are parents who beat their kids like for real they hit them"! I told her I was aware that happened to some kids. Then, she said "I'm so lucky I have nice parents"! We are so lucky to have her too!

We are also very Lucky that the Leprechaun found us on St. Patrick's Day! He really tricked Ria this year, who would have thought to look in mom and dad's closet for a shoe!

Heath was more excited about chocolate coins than anything else.

Brant also took a "top o' the morning" breakfast in to work; green egg-ocean (German Pancakes) made into an Irish Flag.

 Later that night we had a "Pot O' Luck" with friends! So much food and fun!
Annette sporting a party Prize!

We even caught the cutest leprechaun!

 Ria also had a good time practicing her Irish accent. I must admit mine sounds more like a pirate!

 And of Course we handed out March Madness brackets. This year the bottom bracket fills a goodie request for the winner. Annette has clinched the bottom and because she is an amazing cook, Brant is really hoping to close out a top spot!

We feel so Lucky to be here in Flagstaff and to have made some great friends!
