Happy St. Paddy's Day

Much of Pat's family are from Dublin, so celebrating St. Paddy's Day is a must. The clan decended on Grandma's house on Sunday to enjoy some jigging and singing and some wonderful stew, scones and of course soda bread. 'twas good crack!

Pat's sister Sheila had scanned in some of the old family photos that most of the kids and grandkids had never seen before. So we got a chance to travel back in time and hear some tales of life in Ireland from "Pa" and "Ma" (as Maeve calls them).

Here's Maeve in her Irish cape.
One of the rare times that Maeve will actually pose for a photo
Looking all grown up, but still with a big buddha belly
Having a laugh with cousin Miller
The three wee ones with Pa and Ma
Hey Bram, let's party!
Always a great helper, Maeve tidies up a bit
