Happy St. Patrick’s Day

March 17, 2011 by dailygnome 4 Comments

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

– Irish Blessing

We attended a soggy {and short} St. Patrick’s Day Parade in our neighborhood last weekend. It lasted approximately 10 minutes and included a firetruck, a bulldog and a bazillion greyhounds. With handfuls of candy tossed our way by just about every passing entrant, a little gutter water and dirt didn’t deter the kids from stuffing their pockets full.

    Okay, wait – St Patrick's day has come and gone? How did I completely miss this? Oh man, what the flu and a tsunami warning will do to you. Oh wait again, today is St Patrick's day?

    Oh and by the way – the kids are lookin' adorable! Love the NW rain as a backdrop… πŸ™‚

    Nate and Amanda are at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC along with over 2 million people as I write this!

    Love seeing Hadley in her rain jacket with umbrella! When I saw it I immediately thought of how darling she'd look….she is simply precious!

    Give Carson and Hadley hugs and kisses from Grammie! πŸ™‚

    You have to love the Northwest. It's a place where kids grow up smiling, even when it rains. Great fun and good memories being made day by day.

    Lovely. πŸ™‚ Way to make a 10 minute parade look so special.

    BTW, nice touch with the vignetting.
