I know it’s been a while, and rather than catch up I’m just going to post what would be the most recent shots from St. Patrick’s Day. Let’s start off with the feis that happened at the beginning of the month. Here Xavier is displaying his first place trophy for his reel – don’t get…
It’s been a while, I know, so here is a few random pictures from the last couple of years. Just before Thanksgiving Déla and I traveled to Arizona and they got to dance in the western U.S. regional competition. I mentioned this and posted a different picture a few days ago. Here is a very…
There isn’t much to say about this song, really. From the first couple of opening notes, you know which songs this is. Something about the timing of the drums and tambourine stand out, almost arrhythmic, and it’s only during the bridge when the beat shifts to a standard timing that you understand what is “off”…
Here we are nearly 2 years into a pandemic and the feeling of things being “too much” is ever-present.

I have a few posts from different events over the summer to post up, but here are some pictures from throughout the whole summer that do not match up into one of those. Let’s start off with Xavier in a tree. How about a picture of Grace? Xavier was taking a soccer camp being held…
It has been twelve days since the 2019 school year has started, but today is actually the first full day of school. First up was Déla who had her first day of 9th grade. Then, nearly a week later, August had his first day. The next day it was Ciaran and Xavier’s turn. For the…
That was a short summer vacation. Alright, so I didn’t get to update the blog AT ALL like I had planned and hoped. None of my usual pictorial posts, nothing about camps, it’s just been a wasteland here. I could go into the specifics of just how busy and crazy things have been but I’ll…
Here are a few things from the end of May and June that didn’t get posted yet. Towards the end of the school year the 5th grade does “Colonial Day” where the whole class dresses up according to their job. Here is Ciarran, thrilled I am taking his picture. The hat I purchased while on…
This past weekend Seattle hosted the Ace Comic-Con, the second time it has been here. Ace Universe is new to the scene, relatively speaking, with many other comic conventions having been taking place throughout the country and even globally since the 70s. A couple of years ago Ace Universe embarked on a project to offer…
