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."
