HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I just have to write a little something about the fact that Pat and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday! I just wanted him to know how grateful I am for him and how these past 6 years have been great and that I am looking forward to many more years to come. He is my best friend and I can't wait to see what new adventures our life will bring us....Love you babe!!!

Something Sweet

Many of you know that Pat's dad passed away this past December. I wanted to share with you a little conversation Samantha (our 2 year old) and I had the other day.
We were sitting there looking at old pictures on the computer. When we saw one of grandpa she said, "papa". I decided to let her know that "papa" is always going to be with us. She then looked up at me with a reassuring smile and said, "papa in heaven". This is one of those sweet moments that I will always treasure. We will always miss our Papa Brady but know he is always with us!

Paris Pictures

Here are the rest of the pictures from our trip to Paris. We really had a great time and are so happy that we have been able to live in Ireland to take advantage of seeing Europe. We have loved being here and think it has been a great adventure!

Visiting the Louvre was definitely an experience....it was so huge! We were able to see the Mona Lisa and I think we zipped through there as fast as we could. I mean with 3 kids with us, we were lucky that we saw anything.








These are pictures of Notre Dame Cathedral and some beautiful views of the Seine River. We had beautiful weather while we were there. I kept having to pinch myself...am I really here?


























Here are more pictures of us in front of the Eiffel Tower. Some of them are also of us at the top. We really had FUN!!

More pics of Paris coming soon...

I love Paris in the Springtime....I love Paris in the Fall....


We decided to take a family trip to Paris. With three kids it was a little difficult but we still managed and had fun doing it. When we first arrived we hit the ground running. Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower. It was AMAZING! I mean you see pictures but until you are right there you don't realize how massive it is. As you can tell, Samantha was pretty tired...the poor child





This is the only picture Pat and I really got of ourselves together.
This is one of those moments on the trip I was thankful the kids were getting along. We were getting ready. to go on an evening river cruise on the Seine. We actually didn't go until 10:00 because we wanted to see everything lit up...it was worth it. We even got to see the Eiffel Tower light up. What a dream come true! It was so relaxing-the kids fell asleep. I didn't have to worry about them wanting to take a dip in the Seine

Even though the older kids fell asleep, Austin managed to stay awake the whole time....he loved it as you can tell!
