A Belated Irish Blessing

I should have posted this yesterday
when Irish Eyes were
all on beautiful Irish things.
However,
better late than never.
I was not blogging
when my youngest daughter
got married 6 years ago.
My older daughter
(who was carrying SweetCheeks
just under her heart in this picture)
posted this the other day
and I just had to share it.
My oldest son is missing from this
sibling picture.
BUT----Here is:
Mama's Boy, Mimi & MomtoSweetCheeks
I wish my father could have seen 
this beautiful  girl.
He would have said she looked like
an Irish road map.
And so she does.
She is Mom to the two thumbsuckers...
They look pretty Irish to me themselves~
Have a wonderful Monday
and I hope none of you drank too much of this celebrating St. Paddy's day.
and...if you did.....well....
God bless your wee headache!

    Good Morning Diana, I loved the family pictures. You have a beautiful family and your two grandsons are adorable. The boys will just grow up much to fast. It seems like a month just gets started and it is gone. They had corn beef, cabbage, red potatoes, and a dinner roll yesterday at the nursing home. The corn beef was really tender. A belated Happy St. Patrick's Day Hugs and Prayers coming your way from your Missouri Friend.

    Your girls are just lovely! I didn't do ONE thing for St Pats! I served at a homeless shelter in the afternoon and actually completely forgot until later in the day! Some Irish/Scots/Welsh gal I am...they should drum me out!

    diana!
    this post made my heart so glad.
    not just because of it's beauty ~ they are ALL beautiful young people ~
    but by the way you so lovingly speak of mimi. your son's wife.
    i had a mother-in-law that i desperately wanted to be close to ~
    especially since i'd lost my own to cancer. that was not meant to be. she could never 'share' her son. she was hateful to me even to the point of it being publicly noticed. so jealous. so sad really.
    if mothers of sons only knew how much it would mean ~ to the wife ~ to be accepted by them . . . and how much easier their son's lives would be because of it ~ because he is the one who truly suffers since he loves both of them ~
    well ~ didn't mean to write a BOOK!!!
    mimi is just a lucky girl to have YOU! xo

    I sooooo love her choice of wedding colors. I don't think I've seen the green vest inside the tuxedos. So refreshing - and pretty. I bet that was a pretty wedding. And who doesn't love a little thumb sucker? Those boys are darling!

    Would green tea count? (I do have some in the cabinet.) I did wear green yesterday in keeping with the spirit of it.

    What a gorgeous family you have, Diana! I love all that wonderful red hair and all the children and grandchildren are so pretty. Two of my five grands have red hair. Nowadays, it seems true red-heads are getting scarce, at least that is what I hear is happening statistically. If it is true, it makes me sad. Thanks for sharing this lovely photos with us!

    What a CUTE POST and what a beautiful family.

    I really love the spring green tie and vest on the groom - that's unique.

    Had a wee pint of the brown ale but never have more than one. Too old, I don't bounce back anymore.

    Hope you had a fun one too.

    Have a fabulous week, Diana!

    Love these pics Diana. Until reading yesterday's post, I didn't know we both had "green blood"-at least that is what I grew up saying. My four grandparents came from southern Ireland. I had never heard that poem either. Your grands are so adorable and all look Irish. Come by my place tomorrow and see my youngest grand who looks really Irish.

    Hi Diana, Another lovely post.
    In regard to the comment you left about my clock obsession: I do think that the older we get, the more value we put on our time. The more we want it to count and not be wasted and the more we realize that each and very day is a pure and glorious blessing. We never get it back, once it is spent, but if we spend it wisely . . . we have wonderful memories to hold on to.
    God bless you, and many all your days be filled with joy :)
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)
