Since P is very Irish, I always like to make a big deal out of St. Patrick's Day with decorations and food. In fact, I get way more excited about the day than he does of his namesake. This year was even better because E was in on all of the festivities. I made delicious whole wheat Irish soda bread and corned beef and cabbage (yes, blah, blah, I know "real" Irish people in Ireland do not eat this...but we are "fake" Irish people in the US so chill out).
Here are some photos of the fun!

I see the father-n-daughter relationship now has grown closer! how wonderful, Happy St. Patrick's day!
Emmie definitely has one of the most expressive faces I've ever seen -- those are wonderful photos! It's great to see the father-daughter relationship also building... and the next-to-last photo is absolutely priceless. (Beer in a sippy cup... hmmm... [grin])
I found your blog on RQ a few months ago and have been following you since your trip to China. Your honesty, humor, and obvious joy is wonderful! Keep posting - loving the Evolution of Team E.
My husband and I went the NSN route with China exactly five years ago and are still waiting. So we've never made it to China, BUT we actually brought home our domestically adopted newborn daughter seven days ago. However, I will always be crazy for following China adopters/adoptees.
Whether a newborn or a toddler, believe me, coming home is an adjustment for everyone - we're all strangers sniffing each other out at first! Please keep posting! Thank you!

From one P to another - bet you will be excited for our namesake day from now on :) No better way to celebrate than with our soooooo loving and precious E! Next stop - Big R's Bday today and St. Joseph's day tomorrow! Big week for new celebrations for E. Have fun!
Love the beer can!!
