Stalkers
I now have tech savvy students trying to find me on facebook and online.  Lets see how they do.  I will say that I checked to make sure that my privacy settings were secure for all things on Facebook, including pictures and videos (they were not).  So I fixed this VERY quickly.  And deleted posts, just in case.
Now I guess we will see if they find the blog.  I will check and see if there is anything that I need to edit for them.... what a world. I should be getting ready to go to New Jersey for Jim's wedding, not wondering if someone in one of my classes is looking at a picture of me in a bikini.... although maybe I will get a better student evalaution that way...

Daddy's big day(s) and our little carnivores
Yesterday was Patrick's birthday- we made it a full one!  The morning was spent at the Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo" with Emily, Freddie and Aidan. Noella was the only one to dress up, but she was also the only one little enough to not have an opinion. 

After Noella's nap, his parents took us out to Schlafly's brewery for a lovely lunch and a few beers.

Patrick and I even got to go out to celebrate his birthday (Vin de Set, a nice rooftop restaurant downtown followed by a St Louis Blues Hockey game) - many thanks to our babysitters, Ray and Charlene! 

Since we were out last night, he got his special at home dinner today.  He made a massive amount of ribs, slow cooked on our grill.  They were delicious, and loved by adults and children alike.  In fact, it appears that rib bones make an excellent teether for Noella.   The former vegan/ vegetarian had to cringe a little, but I also have to admit that my love for all things barbeque has never faded.  It looks like the girls have inherited their parents' tastes!
