Irish fact for the day: 1 in 50 Irish Americans are Tay Sachs carriers.
1 in 250 in the general population are Tay Sachs carriers. A simple blood test will determine if you are a Tay Sachs carrier.
I often hear people say that they are not concerned about Tay Sachs because it has never been seen in their family before. Of all the families we have met with a child with Tay Sachs, not one had seen it in their family before. So, go get tested!
Lauren and I colored and cut out shamrocks today for St. Patrick’s Day. I cooked corned beef and potatoes. I thought the corned beef was GROSS! Dave ate some but I just ate my potato. Lauren ate chicken nuggets!
Here is a picture of the girls with the shamrocks we made.
Lauren, you did a beautiful job, I love chicken strips from Royal Farm. They are the best! God bless. In Christ, Joe
That picture really touched my heart. Lauren relating to Carmen in her own special way. How unique that relationship is compared to most sister relationships. I think this will produce a beautiful pearl. You two little girls are beautiful!!
I am constantly amazed about how sweet Lauren is. I have a five year old as well and wonder if he would or could be the kind of support Lauren is!!
Lana, don’t feel bad, corned beef IS bad. And no real Irish person I know has eaten it. They serve something called “boiling bacon” and cabbage, it’s more like smoked pork butt–or pork butt in a crockpot. Try that next time and you’ll be happier!
