Hanging with my buddies


Oliver, Jack and Linden all hung out at Linden's and had a great time! They're even working on sharing....Oliver still has a little ways to go before this gets perfected.

Lazy Sheep Herding


We watched this group of escaped sheep run down the road, only to realize that the car driver was actually the owner of the sheep trying to help his dog move them back to their pen.

Ireland!

We had so much fun on our trip to Ireland we decided to make it two weeks instead of one! I'm going to post a whole bunch of fun things for everyone to look at-in no particular order since I'm still a bit jet lagged (and really pregnant).Our little rugger---Oliver actually spent quite a bit of time watching rugby while in Ireland. We're starting his scrum half training already.
Oliver and I in Galway on one of the two rainy days we had in two weeks!
Oliver got pretty good at using his hurley (that's the stick used in Hurling-the crazy Irish game that makes most sports look tame).

Here's part of the lawn at Ross Castle where we stayed. The place was incredible.Horsey!

Oliver absolutely LOVED all of the animals in Ireland. He can now tell the difference between a cow, sheep and horse even when they're just tiny spots in the field. He is especially enamored of horses.


More Ireland....

This is us at the Cong Monastery ruins-this was the fishing hut the monks used in the 1600s.Oliver's new best friend and pub-mate, Mia.
A nap in the airport waiting for the flight that never took off. This was on Saturday. On Sunday we were in line checking in when we decided to skip the flight and stay an extra week. Fabulous decision!
On the top of Connor's pass on the Dingle Peninsula. I think this might be one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen anywhere.

Even more Ireland....

On our trip around the Dingle Peninsula, we stopped at a great little aquarium.
Here we are at one of the best preserved Iron Age ring forts in all of Ireland. Note the enormous belly.....
On our last morning we took a horse ride through the National Park in Killarney. It was really beautiful, and Oliver completely adored the horse. He actually fell sound asleep sitting up before the ride was over.
