“So it is, whether we wished it or not, that we have come to the test of our generation, to our rendezvous with destiny. … All of us, despite the differences that enliven our politics, are united in the one big idea that freedom is our birthright and its defense is always our first responsibility. All other responsibilities come second.” – John McCain

Don't forget ... Alexis is number 7 and Carissa (her sister) took a lot of these pictures ... Last indoor soccer game of 2008 ...

In preparation for St Patrick’s Day … we have Shamrock Shakes and some wonderful Irish quotes …

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

–Author Unknown
 
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
–Irish Blessing
 
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
–Irish Blessing

(Sorry for the nearly 4 weeks of entries posted all at once … I had database and server problems … and not a lot of spare time to work on getting the problems fixed)

Happy Sunday!
