Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We were at the mall yesterday and the line for the Easter Bunny was short because people were lined up before he even arrived so we jumped in line.  Zac was SO excited!  He got to see the Easter Bunny walk over and waved hello to him.  He even did a great job waiting in line for a few minutes and that is quite a feat for him!  By the time we were close, Zac was starting to get a little antsy and Tyler was cranking because he was getting tired so we didn't think the picture would even happen.  They surprised us though!  Zac was thrilled to sit on his lap and Tyler couldn't stop smiling and flirting with the photographer!

Zac was also VERY proud of himself yesterday.  He had gone to the State Fair with Tom last fall and they had won a stuffed leopard that Zac decided to name "Momma Jaguar".  He likes the show Go Diego Go and he already had a stuffed "Baby Jaguar".  Back in January Momma Jaguar turned up missing and we hadn't seen her since!  Zac has continued to ask about her whereabouts and it breaks your heart when they are missing something that they love and you can't find it for them!  Yesterday morning Zac and Tom were up in the play room and Zac pulled out one of the drawers from under the train table.  

He was down on the floor peering beneath the table and Tom asked him what he was doing.  He crawled under there a little bit and emerged with Momma Jaguar!  He was just elated!  He talked about his amazing detective skills and how much he had missed her all day long!

On a sad note, we're pretty sure Hurricane is having heart problems.  He's not eating, has shallow breathing and can't hardly walk around the block which is VERY unusual for him.   Tom took him to the vet yesterday and after paying a hefty emergency exam fee, we still don't know anything for sure!  The vet suspects it's his heart but we have to do a chest x-ray and probably more tests to find out for sure.  He is only going to be six years old in two weeks!  We are not ready for this yet!  Please say a prayer for him!
