Saint Patrick's Day

Uncle Oat came to visit us for Saint Patrick's Day. He's almost 100% Irish so it was like having our own leprechaun in the house. We had a few friends over to enjoy some Guinness stew and corned beef & cabbage. Ben had his friends Hope, Rylie and Makala over for a visit. Uncle Oat was impressed that Ben had so many girlfriends. As the weekend wound down, Ben was disappointed that Uncle Oat had to leave. In fact, as I've done before, I ended up running outside, Ben in hand, to make sure he was given one more hug before Uncle Oat left. Those crocodile tears get me every single time.
