Climbing Big Sugar Loaf "Mountain", Co. Wicklow

Matt, Toby, Liam and Tom on walkabout in County Wicklow. Matt and Toby joined us in Dublin for the final leg of their European pub crawl wherein beer, marvelous beer, became the catalyst of all good things for them in the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland.

Talking with my Dy-ee

Here I am having conversation with my Dy-ee on the phone this morning. He's in London, you know. Just for the day. He misses me so.
Now I'm off to the library for story time (after mummy's done my hair). Such a busy life!!
Lots of love,
Ava Sage

Welcome to Dublin, Grandad!

We were extremely happy to have Grandad visit us in Dublin.

Note from Liam: "I love you, Grandad! You are the best soccer player EVER!!!"

Note from Ava: "I love Bob!!!" (as in the Builder).

This sign needs cleaning!

Our neighborhood super-hero "Sporticus" decides the Herbert Park sign across the road from his hideout needs a proper cleaning.

Liam's Easter Concert. A Scone at Phoenix Park. And, an Afternoon Walk at Powerscourt House & Gardens, Co. Wicklow.

It is the Easter holiday so Liam has two weeks off school and Tom has a long weekend. Recent events include Liam's Easter concert at Herbert Montessori where he portrayed in song Bottle # 2 in "10 Green Bottles Standing on the Wall"; Ava's full recovery from chicken pox; the arrival of better weather in Ireland; and the loss of Lisa's Auntie Joyce in England. We are preparing our Dublin flat for Neil's/Grandad's arrival on Sunday night. Liam in particular is beside himself in anticipation of the return of his Grandad for morning, afternoon and evening soccer matches.

St. Patrick's Day

Mrs. Harry Potter and Local Graffiti Artists

Ava Sage secretly borrowed Liam "Harry Potter" Wilson's glasses tonight. Earlier today, the two graffiti artists attacked our neighbor's temporary boarding to make a construction site (and our side-house view) more visually appealing.
