Guitar Hero on St. Patrick's Day

Jen, Rich and Mya came over to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. After the corned beef and cabbage we spent over 4 hours on Guitar Hero....so addictive!

I came home from a girlfriend's party the next day and Mike was still going strong....

Butterflies...

Madison bred butterflies from caterpillars a couple of weeks ago. When she released them, they were completely tame! She held them and hand-fed them for about 20 minutes before they flew away...

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY GREAT GRANDMA FLO!!!

Great Grandma Flo turned 100 yesterday! She had a big party with the Deputy Lord Mayor in attendance and lots of entertainment from her wonderful caregivers. You can see her card personally signed by the Queen on the picture below. Centenarians make up only 1 in 10,000 people in the UK. She is still sharp as a tack and hasn't lost her famous sense of humor and had a great time on her special day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLO - WE LOVE YOU!!
