These pictures are taken at St. Stephen's Green which is in the center of downtown Dublin. We love coming here to feed the ducks and walk around the shops. The buildings you see in the top picture are on Parnell Street which is a fun tourist area. We love DUBLIN!!

For church we attend a branch(congregation) of about 40-50 people. This picture is taken from one end of the chapel. As you can see it is pretty small. We helped the Senior primary(8-11) plan this Halloween activity. The pinata was the highlight of the night. As you can see, Logan was getting some good swings in.

Here are some fun pictures of the kids. Samantha is happy and all smiles and Logan is conquering the obstacle course at our playground. I can't believe how fast the kids are growing up.

I think this picture speaks for itself. After the playground and the waterfall the kids were pooped. And mom and dad had a quiet drive. It doesn't get any better than that.

We visited Powerscourt Estate which is about 30 minutes south of Dublin in the Wicklow mountains. This is Dublin's tallest waterfall. We spent the afternoon walking around the waterfall and the kids had a great time at a playground nearby. The drive into the mountains to get there was beautiful with all the landscape you would imagine in Ireland.

Logan was Superman for Halloween and dad decided to give him some early practice with flying.

We took a day trip into the country and visited Kilkenney Castle. We had a great time and Sammie almost fell in the fountain. It was fun walking through the town of Kilkenney. It's easy to feel the history as you walk over the stone bridges, walk the narrow roadways, and admire the old cathedrals and castles. It's just cool. We frequently find ourselves asking ourselves, "Are we really here."

Fun at Home

Our living room. We bought the kids this Alphabet puzzle and they laughed and played with it for hours. I love how childrens laughter can be so contagious.

Fun at the Park

Logan is being a great big brother showing Samantha around the park. We enjoyed a great sunny day (they are few and far between). The park is a 5 minute walk from our house and bigger and better than any we've ever seen. We spend a lot of time there when the weather is nice. The kids love it and so does mom.
