When Irish Eyes are Smiling

Happy St. Patricks Day from Jack! We're a little bit early, I know, but Sunday morning has turned into 'Portrait time', and I thought I would make this photo very green, in anticipation of all the celebrations that will be taking place on Saturday. Ironically, in Ireland, we don't really celebrate as much as all you American folk. Some people get a day off work, some don't, and it is mostly just the student population that seem to take advantage of an excuse to drink all day long! So, my little family has no exciting plans for Saturday, I'm afraid. But I hope you enjoy whatever festivities you are participating in - I would love to hear what you're up to!

I photographed my little leprechaun against my Summer green backdrop today, and 'greened' in up a bit in photoshop. If you regularly visit Jack, you won't be surprised to hear that he is sporting another little vintage polo shirt.

You might be interested to hear what Jack, Dada and Mama got up to yesterday - we attended a 'Baby Rave', organized by the Belfast Children's Festival in the Waterfront Hall. It is a proper disco for little people (and their parents) with music, big screens, and flashing lights, topped off with great decor and little activities taking place all around the venue, such as those big parachute thingies for the kids to run under. Jack was frankly terrified to begin with, and kept pulling me towards the door, presumably telling me, in his own way, that he wanted to leave. But we persevered and gave him time to get his bearings. He soon came round and danced the hour away! Fun had by all!
