Happy St. Patrick's Day

This weekend we're celebrating the end of another quarter, a new job for Brecken, the start of spring break, and St. Patrick's Day. Lots for us to be excited about, and you can be excited that there is another post to the blog...something that has not been happening with as much frequency lately.

To celebrate the luck of the Irish, Owen donned as much green as he could find in his closet and tossed out a big smile for the camera.

When he smiles, those big cheeks almost force his eyes shut. Maybe we need to hold back on the corned beef and cabbage, or maybe he just needs to blame his dad for the big cheeks.

We also took some time out to check out the annual tradition in downtown Chicago - The Green River. Despite nine years in the city, this is the first time that Brecken and I had seen the toxic flow. It's quite the site.

We're now crossing our fingers for a little luck of the Irish and a "Green" close to the day with the Spartans vs. UNC. How about a little more Izzo magic? It might be a lofty dream, but it sure would be fun.
