A Belated St. Patty's Day to You!

Christmas is over and through;
New Year and Valentine's, too.
We truly do hate
When we pro-cras-tin-ate
So it's "Happy St. Patty's" to you!

Jason continues to sweat
At his job where he hopes he will get
A grant that pays
For his grad students' ways
And the research expenses be met.

Laurel is doing just great
As her body works hard to gestate.
Just to be clear,
Come September this year,
The Chrumas will be one-half of eight.

Violet is growing up fast,
In June three years will have passed!
And as a rule,
She enjoys her preschool
With five other girls in her class.

"GO CARDINALS!" that was the cheer.
The memories still bring a tear.
As with our "Christmas" letter
We hoped for much better.
Of course, there is always next year.

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2009!
Love, The Chrumas
