A Blogging Break
I've decided to take a little break from blogging. In the past few weeks I haven't managed to get in more than a handful of posts. Life is chaotic right now at the Irish house... we've got lots of exciting things happening, lots of changes, and very little time. Right now I feel that I need to focus my time, energy, and attention on these things. I promise I'll be back again soon and with exciting things to share, new recipes (there hasn't been any cooking in the Irish house recently), and some great new regular weekly blog posts. See ya'll in a few weeks :)

Celebrating America
We celebrated America's birthday with family, friends, sun, and lots of fun!
We kicked off the holiday weekend with a day of boating at a friend's lake house. It was an absolutely beautiful day - nearly 90 degrees, nothing but sunshine - perfect boating weather. Our friends from Illinois and St. Louis were in town which made it even more perfect. We went swimming, grilled out, laughed and laughed. Dave was also asked to stand up in his friend Jeremy's wedding next April in Louisville. We're looking forward to a little southern getaway to share in Jeremy and Danielle's special day :) (And I really should have brought my camera on the boat)
The celebrations continued after our day at the lake with fireworks. We watched the fireworks from the home where my great grandmother lives. Boy was she feeling festive! She had a fabulous Dr. Seuss Fourth of July hat, some glow sticks, and red, white, and blue-painted finger nails. She was happy to have us all there to watch the fireworks with her and her house really was the best place to watch them.
The festivities continued on the Fourth with the Cedarburg parade, a cookout at our house with our families, and a long nap to recover from the weekend. Thanks to Wisconsin's hot, humid, sunny weather this past weekend we were too wiped out to make it to the Cedarburg fireworks on the fourth. Instead we curled up on the couch and watched a movie. Perfect end to a perfect weekend.
Hope everyone had a fabulous fourth of July weekend!
(Look for a new recipe in next week's Tasty Tuesday... not much cooking happened in the past week at the Irish house)
