Top 'o the day!

Madeline loves her Uncle Mike!
We have family in town this week! Stephen's bro, Mike is here. Madeline loves having Uncle Mike here. We took him to the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Austin...then we went to lunch at the Hula Hut (photo above). My parents are also in town. We're taking them to the Rodeo Austin tomorrow and then celebrating my birthday this weekend. Both Stephen and I have the rest of the week off from work...ya hoo! :)
Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone! Did you know that there are more than 10,000 Roman Catholic saints and beatified people? And Patrick is on that list! St. Patrick (389-460 AD), missionary to Ireland, is a Christian that all can be proud of, Catholic and Protestant alike.
Prayer for the Faithful by Saint Patrick
May the Strength of God guide us.
May the Power of God preserve us.
May the Wisdom of God instruct us.
May the Hand of God protect us.
May the Way of God direct us.
May the Shield of God defend us.
May the Angels of God guard us.
- Against the snares of the evil one.
May Christ be with us!
May Christ be before us!
May Christ be in us,
Christ be over all!
May Thy Grace, Lord,
Always be ours,
This day, O Lord, and forevermore. Amen.
