Happy St. Patrick's day!

 
 A little history on St. Patrick's day.  St. Patrick's is a religious feast day that has been celebrated by the Irish for over a thousand years.  It is celebrated on the 17th of March which marks the anniversary of St. Patrick's death in the 5th century.  It happens to fall in the middle of the Lent season and the day allows those who follow this tradition to lift their restrictions and feast.  I rather enjoy the day of wearing green, parades, green beer, and in Chicago I believe they even dye the Chicago river green.  We are not going to be that far from Chicago when we live in Detroit, so maybe next year we will have to go take a look at this green river and maybe go see a parade or two :). Hope you are wearing green today!

Notice Chase is starting to get annoyed with me. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!
