I haven’t had as much time and opportunity to blog about the trip as I had initially planned. I thought I would have more time, but that’s not the case. Almost every day we’re out of the house by 10 in the morning and by the time we return and get dinner and the kids…
Day… what… 4? It’s all a bit off since we lost a day in travel. Right now, where we are it is Thursday the 27th. We left Seattle very early on Monday the 24th and landed the morning of Tuesday the 25th. The rest of Tuesday was spent getting up to dad’s (which is its…

Here is the one picture I have for this week. It’s Ciárán and Xavier at the zoo this morning. I have a bit of stuff to say, but for the uninterested, here’s the picture. Ugh! Alright, so for Mother’s Day Laura bought a new digital camera. This was a purchase we had been mulling over…
