Busy busy busy

Cannot believe how quickly time is passing. We have had a hetic few months since we came home.

May: We headed to Sligo to see some of our very best friends, Sonia, Dave, Gennie, Kai and of course Nellie dog. We travelled to China with Sonia and Dave in August 2006 to adopt Grace and Gennie. They are so good to us and we love spending time with them. I can hardly believe that Gennie is now four and Grace will be four in November. I remember like it was yesterday the day I first held her in my arms. She was the same age then as Daniel is now (9 mths). Even though she is now a big girl (according to herself) she will always be my baby girl.
May: My nephew Adam made his communion. The lucky duck got 700 Euro. I took Grace to the church with me - not one of my best plans. She swung her cardigan around and it sailed across the room and hit a lady in the face. I was sooo embarrassed. Grace didn't bat an eyelid. In the end I had to let her play her DS with the volume switched off.
May: We went to the Christening of Zach O'Shea in Cork. We also got to meet us with Peter, Louise and Jed. Zach, Jed and Daniel are all from Langson. All three boys have grown a lot since we have come home. It's great to see them thriving.
We had a BBQ on the Monday of the bank holiday weekend. The weather was fab so the paddling pool was brought out. The kids had a great time.
June: Dave, Rebecca and Eve came home from the US for Eves Christening. Eve is a year old now and it was the first time that we got to meet her. She is fabulous. It was also a chance for us to show off our new addition. We had a great week with them. We went to Fota Wildlife park and Galway. Eve was christened on Sat June 13th. I was delighted to be asked to be the Godmother.
June: Mikes Aunt Doly and his cousin Debbie came from England to see Daniel. It's been lovely catching up with them. We went to Audrey's for a party with all the Hayes Clan. Daniel managed to stay awake until 10:30PM which was a first. He usually has to be in his bed for 8PM or he is like a demon. Grace would stay up all night for you if you left her. I'll post some up to date pictures later.
