Happy Birthday, Lyrad!

Lyrad turned 39 yesterday. I took the kiddos to his office while he wasn't there, and they decorated it by sticking little dots, stars, and hearts they'd colored and cut out, all over the walls and door and desk. Rachel made him a whole book called "Lyrad's Life," Eliza watered the garden and fruit trees extra thoroughly for him, and Joshie helped to make gnocchis (Lyrad's favorite meal that his Italian great grandmother used to make) and a red sauce made from tomatoes from our garden. We're so grateful for our husband and daddy!

Here are photos of some favorite times with him, such as St. Patrick's Day when he colors our milk green and he writes "O'Riley" on his doctor name tag so everyone knows he's Irish. We also love camping, gardening, jumping on the trampoline, reading, and playing instruments with him.
