Good Photos of a Rare Night Out in Dublin

We are thankful that Mic and Missy Johnson (daughter of my friend, Sam Vaskov) brought their camera from Kansas City to take great pictures during their holiday in Ireland and Scotland. After 11 months in Dublin, Lisa and I finally had our picture taken together as a couple. A rarity while Liam and Ava Sage are the center of our attention.

These pictures were taken atop the Half Penny Bridge, Leo Burdock's chippy and Temple Bar. Thank you Mic and Missy!

Liam's Art Appreciation Class

The next time you speak with Liam ask him to sing his "Andy Warhol the Artist" song.

Saturday in Ireland, where Princess Ava Sage, Sportacus and the allure of Guinness reign supreme

At Marlay Park's Halloween parade with Princess Ava Sage and Sportacus then afterwards at the Merry Ploughhouse where, after 11 months of restraint, we gave in to Ava and Liam's demand for their own pint of Guinness.

Daddy, We're Glad You Are Here

Liam gave me this fantastic, personal card this morning to remind me that it's been 5 years since my aneurysm. Am I a lucky father? Yes, I am.

The things he appreciates: pub (lemonade and crisps), Metro Cafe (for Saturday breakfast), baseball, Hot Lips Pizza, Ben & Jerry's, football, rugby, chores (!), speaking French and Spanish, puppets and bedtime stories.
