I was reading a blog this morning talking about the excitement of St. Paddy's combined with the torture of returning to school after spring break. There was a giveaway on the blog for the best comment on your current St. Patrick's Day plans or most memorable St. Patrick's Day. I quickly reminisced over this day five years ago. James and I spent the day walking around Key West on the first leg of our cruise to the Bahamas. We ate conch at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, visited the aquarium, and walked the streets amazed at the number of people who were already "over-served" by 10:00 a.m. There were many things that caught the attention of my camera lens as we walked. Little did I know that the love of my life had sneaked my engagement ring into the bag that I was carrying. I walked on and off the ship carrying the ring and never knew! His plan was to propose while we were out, but said he couldn't find quite the right place do it. He proposed soon after at a private dinner sailing in the waters near the Bahamas. Neither of us are Irish, but cheers to happiness and good fortune!
We've probably all heard tales about leprechauns, clovers, and pots of gold that surround the mystique of the day. Leprechauns are said to be mischievous in their attempts to steal treasure. Our little leprechaun is no different.
He's up to something, can you tell?
This remote thief is very sneaky.
Monkey see, Monkey do...I can be like Daddy too!
Even little leprechauns need naps.
No pinching this little tooter bug :)
As you can see, the cast hasn't slowed Hunter down one bit. He has a few extra bruises here and there, but he is one tough little dude. We are all adjusting pretty well, and I am getting used to diapering and putting suspenders on our spunky little monkey.
"May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night"
May you have faith, hope, love, and luck this St. Patrick's Day!
love you all!!! see you very soon
