Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks to Aunt Stephenie for the super-cute leprechaun shirt!

Mama and Dada's Birthdays

Matt and my birthdays are both in March. Since Matt's came first, Stanley is convinced that the only person's name that fits when singing "Happy Birthday" is Dada. We both had great days celebrating our birthdays with our little man!

Owl Fest 2011

We went to Owl Fest at Tryon Creek State Park on Saturday evening. We hiked on trails, saw some real-life owls, and colored an owl mask. Although there was so much owl excitement, Stanley mostly just liked splashing in the puddles on the trails and playing with his friend, Ella!

Stanley and Ella have been going to daycare together for a few weeks now, and I discovered that Stanley can now say her name! She would run ahead on the trail, and Stanley would yell, "Ella! Ella!"
