Luck of the Irish



We LOVE St. Patrick's Day in this house. Of course, it's because we are Irish Catholic-but also-two years ago today we received the call that would change our lives forever-UNC had a spot in their dental school for Adam! Flash forward to today and we are loving life in North Carolina with not one-but two March babies! Luckily, spring has FINALLY arrived and last weekend we planted our garden with a bit of time to establish before the kids' birthday party (and as luck would have it, a Saturday this year). I know I was a bit sad by the fact that they would be sharing a birthday-but in prepping for this year's celebration I am excited by all the possibilities for party ideas. I also secretly hope that the kids will want to spend their birthday together long into adulthood (and preferably during college so that Isla will have an older brother looking out for her on those "milestone" birthdays-she's a wild one-that girl). Jack has learned the words to "Happy Birthday to you" and even says, "Jack & Isla"-while Isla twirls around the room-
I hope you are all having as wonderful a day as we are and...

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long
