Day 57...Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mar 17

Today was a lot of fun! Jack goes to an exercise program for seniors called silver sneakers, and they have a birthday celebration for all the people with birthdays for each month, which they happened to have today for St. Paddy's day. So it was also a St. Paddy's day celebration. All those seniors dressed up in all kinds of green, they had a parade in the Gym of the Joan Croc center, and lunch after ward.
The seniors all really enjoyed having Martyn join them for the celebration, and he was such a good boy. He was awake almost the entire time we were there, and very alert. They were all just thrilled with him. He is 8 weeks today, and that was impressive to them, since he can hold his head up really well, and was just such a good boy the whole time.

After that, we stopped by the store and he was done by then. He was ready to come home and have a nap. When we got home, I needed to change his diaper and he was just screaming bloody murder! I thought he was hurt with the way he was screaming, but I couldn't find anything that was hurting him, and he calmed down easily enough I figured he was just learning how to use the full capacity of his lungs. Kinda freaked me out while he was carrying on though...definitely not a sound a mama ever wants to hear.

I took Martyn to dinner at the Ferreria's house, that was cool. I always like visiting with them, and all the kids were there. Martyn finally fell asleep in the car on the way over and was hard asleep, he didn't even wake up when I got him out of the car seat and handed him off to Brooke. She was really excited to hold him. It was funny. Then he still didn't wake up when she passed him off to Caleb. It was so strange to see Caleb, about to turn 24 years old tomorrow (the 18th) and about to get married in a couple months, holding my son. I kept chuckling saying, "Caleb, you're getting married!" Finally he laughed and said "Well you have a baby!" Strange to think how much both of us have grown up. I miss that guy. He will always be one of my favorites, I have to admit. I'm pleased with Man that he has become, and is still becoming.

All in all, it was a great St. Patrick's day. Probably one of the best I've ever had, and there wasn't even any alcohol anywhere near me the entire day, which was great!
