Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We're not (very) Irish, but I still love the holiday. On too many occasions growing up I was that kid who wore green from head to do, even if the greens were all slightly (a lot) off. My mom always made green butter for our rolls, green milk/water, and we always had some sort of spicy meat from the crock pot that I can never remember the name of. Green is still my favorite color and my eyes will always been green. I guess you could call me Irish at heart.

Today is Harper's first St. Patrick's Day and while I didn't turn her milk green or give her green cheese (ew!), she did eat her green beans with such a verocity it makes me wonder if she would prefer to live by them alone. She wore her "Dad's Lady Luck" shirt to Grandma's today, along with her St. Patrick's Day bib. I must say she was quite the looker.

Of course, because I like to get more use out of things than just one day, she also wore another shamrock outfit to church on Sunday. Yes, she was that kid in the nursery. Green from head to do with the greens slightly (a lot) off. But darned cute, she was.

She doesn't have green eyes like I do but I'm quite pleased with the eyes God has given her as they are quite beautiful, just like her Daddy's. I look forward to all the future St. Patrick's Days to spend with her and carrying on some of my favorite traditions, as well as starting new ones.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
