This past weekend we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a visit from Andrew's parents all the way from Perth (Ontario). Andrew made a delicious lamb stew with help from Heather and Doug. I contributed some walnut and raisin soda bread and an extremely sweet St. Patty's Day parfait. Who knew marshmallows had so many uses? Saturday was spent on a trip to St. Jacob's to see the farmers market and check out some antique stores. Sunday we stayed in Guelph and went to College Royal at the University of Guelph. Fistulated cows and humungous pigs- oh my.
With Andrew's parents came the crib kindly donated by our friend Caryn's parents. Also some of Andrew's childhood stuffed animals (Papa Smurf and mon chichi (sp?) among them). Two boxes of comic books which Andrew hopes to sell and finance the offspring's education are now ensconced in the basement. Andrew has already planned to read through them all and says if I am careful and wash my hands and put them all back in their plastic sleeves with the cardboard properly inserted I may also read them- No thanks. Who knew Andrew was such a nerd.
Hopefully once we have the crib put together and in the nursery- to-be we will be inspired to get our asses in gear.
