Random Important Stuff

Lots of wonderful things have happened over the past months. We have two new grandbabies ... Ciaran Oliver Joseph Mellor was born May 18, and Teresa Brigid Milligan arrived on May 29. They are beautiful! Also, Fiona and Erin and their families have been here May/June/and will extend into the first part of July. We have all had fun with our togetherness and especially watching all the little grandchildren enjoy each other's company. I will attempt to post some photos.

Hope you enjoyed the pics; I'll try to post more ... eventually ... when I figure out how to do this blogging w/o spending so much time, and without having to appeal for help from Gary ... who seems to be able to figure it out much faster ...

It's been a l-o-n-g while; here are some pictures...

We do not have such exciting lives that posting about ourselves often is warranted.... boring, more likely. However, this is a good spot to put pictures for all to view I suppose.

We had a great time with Patrick, Maire, Aine, Declan, and Rowan when they spent about a week with us over their Spring Break (Mar 17-21). Luckily, the weather was great ... so we were outdoors a good bit. We went to Cibolo Wilderness, the park, Inflatable Wonderland, and of course the Dollar Store (after they earned $2 each picking up sticks in the back yard, and keeping their stuff tidy...). We also went to the library for story hour on March 18. The lady asked if anyone could dance an Irish Jig (she was doing stories about Ireland...) ... P, M, and A raised their hands and were invited to dance, so they did, in their running shoes and jeans! Everyone was properly impressed! Here are some pictures of when the children were here.

Whew, I probably posted too many pictures ... esp of the garden, since they all look about the same. At least I did post!! {I hafta admit that it was with Gary's help... for which I am grateful.} We'll try to post more regularly ... maybe every 3 months instead of every 6 months... and then there won't need to be so many pictures, and it may be "easier."
