Babies!

Babies, babies, babies!

I went to Dublin and Stacey met me there.  She had to travel about 8 hrs with her two little people, what a challenge. 

Niamh (Neve) turned two in April, Fearghaill (Farr-ell) just arrived on the 30th of June.

It felt so good to see Stacey and these beautiful children.  She had me meet her in an easy-to-find hotel coffee shop where we talked and watched Niamh play -- she's such a friendly, loving, delightful little girl, grown so much since I got to see her at Christmas.  Fearghaill is an easy baby, eats, sleeps, smiles and makes messy nappies.  Really laid back.

After a bit of time in the hotel, Stacey suggested we take the train down the coast, so we did. 

Really fun.   The kids were happy and we got to visit more.  We went to a little town where we sat

 in a "snug" (that's a little square booth room in a pub, designed so women could come to a bar and not feel like they were on display) and ate chips and sausage and tomato soup.

What a beautiful mommy.

What a lovely day.
