Im not really sure how to interpret the fact that Patrick was born just before the Saints win the Super Bowl for the first time in history and DC get 36 plus inches of snow in a few days from back to back blizzards.
Some have said that its all signs of hell freezing over. Im not sure! Jury still out on that.
But what a game it was!!!! The Saints for the first time in 42 years (and my life) not only went to the Super Bowl but played an near perfect game and brought it all home! Needless to say, the city has been electric with all the excitement.
A guy I went to college with posted on his facebook "I'm going to New Orleans for the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras." Someone responded " You know the Super Bowl is in Miami" To which he replied: "Wanna bet"
Perfect!
They had a big parade for the team (win or lose) on Tuesday after the game and the whole city came out to see the team. It would have been great to see it but I will settle for pictures and stories.
Geaux Saints!!!!
BTW, Patrick isn't very good a shoveling snow yet. If it keep going this way, he will be good by the end of the week. 36 inches and counting....more snow expected tomorrow.

Holy Crap!!!! Its been almost 4 weeks already????
We they always say "Time flies when youre having fun" We can now safely say it also flies when youre sleep deprived. So to catch everyone up on the first (nearly a) month here is what we have been up to.
We brought Patrick home on a Thursday and spent the next several days getting to know him, getting into a routine (us, not him) trying to figure out the sleep thing, staring at him in amazement, and introducing him to the pups.
It has been going quite well, we have managed to get onto his schedule of eating, sleeping and pooping. It's great when people ask "is he on a schedule yet?" We say "Yep, his"
He sleeps when he is tired, wakes up when he is hungry, cries when he is gassy (or hungry, or tired, or wet, or dry, or unsure what else to do). We spring into action to fix whatever is out of whack and restoring him to homeostasis. It is a bit of a balancing act for sure.
He can get some great distance with his pee!!
So, I was changing him and we had yet to have any pee incidents... Changing diapers? No problem! Clearly I had been lulled into a false sense of security. The changing pad sits on a dresser and we keep the diapers and stuff in the top drawer. Easy and convenient right??? Except when the top on the wipes keeps popping open and prevents the drawer from opening. No big deal...until he decides to pee mid change and is covering the wall. Kate was napping and I was changing Patrick when Kate awoke to me saying "oh no.h no, oh no" I wasnt yelling but I was definitely anxious. Why? Patrick had decided the mood was right for a nice pee mid change and was peeing all over himself, the changing table and (most notably) the wall. Not a huge deal but the anxiety came from not being able to open the drawer because the lid to the wies had popped open and was keeping the drawer closed. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy clean up and a funny story. It was made even funnier a few days later when the exact same thing happened to Kate. We now employ the pee-pee-tee-pee's that Tracey and Tracy got us. they are never far away now and have saved us a few times (including today)!!! Thanks guys!!!
