Sunday was the city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade. It's our family tradition to go to breakfast, mass, and attend the parade together. Some of us actually walk in the parade while others of us are mere spectators.
This year we actually had a minor celebrity amongst us. Dad was one of the Deputy Grand Marshals for the parade....complete with top hat and tails.

'Tis Himself
When we were kids (and adults, too) my mother would always say to us, "Your father is such a good looking man." To which we would respond by rolling our eyes, gagging, and shoving our fingers in our ears as far as they would go and reciting Mary Had A Little Lamb over and over again. But the truth is...she was right! I wish Mom could have been with us on Sunday. She would have been in her glory.
Lily enjoyed this parade much more then the parade for 4th of July. In fact, she kept moving her father out of the way when he was blocking her view! Honestly though it wasn't the bands, Mummers, dogs, or firetrucks that were Lily's favorite...it was the food. No, not the bag of fruit, crackers, and other snacks her father packed for her...it was Christina's sub she was after.
One year ago I was at the St. Patrick's Day Parade showing everyone that didn't move fast enough pictures of our beautiful daughter. This year we had our beautiful daughter with us! It just keeps getting better!!

I have agreed with your Mom, my sister, since the very first time I laid eyes on your father....Handsome!
My godson is not too bad on the eyes either.
Love to all
Wow TJ - Don sure looks a lot like your Dad did, and I can just hear your Mom saying what a good-looking man your Dad is - guess I spent a lot of time at your house in the 70's , huh? Thanks for the smiles today.
