Standing tall

Eoin is pulling himself up on anything he can get his hands onto these days. Last weekend he surprised us and managed to pull himself into a standing position in his crib - he was rather pleased with himself!

PS: the crib was lowered that evening so he will have to grow some more before he can repeat that stunt!

La Feile Padraig Shona Daoibh

Happy St Patricks Day to you all.

We celebrated paddys day Chicago style i.e. on the previous Saturday - we went out and drank green beer on what was a wet and windy (an irish feeling) day here. Eoin stayed at home to mind the house from any pesky lepreuchans who might have thought about dropping in - he was ready to tackle them in his irish rugby shirt.

It's great to be Irish.
Slan.

Gaelic imports

I paid a visit to Gaelic imports recently to get some Irish provisions including real Irish sausages, bacon, black and white pudding, soda bread and chef brown sauce. You can pick up bits and pieces eslewhere but this (in the middle of nowhere) store is dedicated to bringing those oft missed necessities to the Irish diaspora in Chicago. Yum!
