          Glade’s birthday and St. Patrick’s Day are all rolled into one great event.  He enjoyed his day that started with a trip to the fitness center sporting his big green crocks!  He wears them every day and nearly everywhere he goes except to church and to the temple.  

          Since we grocery shopped and did housekeeping on Saturday, it was a peaceful day without stress or rushing to get everything done.  Family Home Evening was nice and Glade topped off his taco soup and chips with Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream and the birthday cake made on Saturday.  So, it felt a little like a birthday—especially when everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to him tonight.

We sauntered down to the bakery for bread this afternoon and realized that it is getting hot here!  We are so grateful for the blessing of air conditioning both in our apartment and in the temple. 

          Thanks to everyone who sent birthday greetings to Glade via Skype, Facebook, and email.  It’s extra nice since we are so far away from everyone and it brings you all close to us. 

          Time to turn in.  We start the early schedule in the morning.

          Sweet Dreams, Everyone!  Know you are loved J
