A Leprechaun and a Ballerina

I realize that St. Patrick’s Day was forever ago—we’ve been enjoying the great outdoors and I haven’t been on the computer much—but I thought I’d still post a picture of my little leprechaun, Clara.

 

And then here’s a picture of the authentic Irish Soda bread we ate with our corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. At the last minute I realized I hadn’t really thought about the table centerpiece. Then I remembered I had a ton of limes that I just bought at Costco that would do the job!

 

And here is my little ballerina, Meredith, before her lesson last week. She takes ballet very seriously and even practices at home. It’s cute to watch.
