Kisses, Guiness and More!


Hello from Ireland! Well Sofia and I made it to the Emerald Isle safe and sound. It took four days for poor little girl to get on Ireland time, but other than that we have had a blast so far!

Some of the events of our "holiday," or so they call vacation here, have included rain, rain, hail, more rain and some sunshine:) Marian wants you to know that it is sunny right now... for the next 60 seconds at least.

We went shopping in town the first day. We then went to the beach and saw GIANT waves. We have gone to the park, which was a great hit besides the 45 degree weather. Sofia actually tried to steal another girl's doll:) Yesterday was a great day though. We went to church in the morning, where Sofia got to sit with Marian and I in the cry room. She LOVED giving the sign of peace to EVERYONE at least once if not twice. We then went to the Harp Tavern where we had a Guiness and listened to traditional Irish music. Sofia danced the afternoon away. She even met a boy there who she danced with and blew kisses at. He thought this was an invitation to plant one on her. So she had her first boyfriend, and kiss in Ireland!

I have been able to see a lot of old friends, and visit. They all think that Sofia is just "gorgeous!" They all, also said how American she looks....I am not quite sure what that means. Sorry for the long post, we are just having a great time! I hope you enjoyed the slide show, and here is a video from the Harp...there will be more to come.

We are here until November 5th! We are trying to stay out of Chad's hair while he finishes up in these last couple of weeks.
