Irish Invasion!

We're thrilled to be able to connect with the Hamm family this summer. Sinead's younger sister is getting married and so they made the BIG trek out to Canada for that special event. Darryl will be coming out in a few days as he isn't going to be out as long as the rest of the family. It was just like old times and we had a good time chatting and catching up. The catching up was done in two second sound bites as the kids kept us very very busy!

We enjoyed the back 'garden' as they say before supper. The kids played, picked raspberries and climbed the tree!

Emma is a wee dote (I've been reading Irish novels lately and have much lingo floating around in my brain)! She was so small last summer and now she's such sweet little girl and speaks so well already!

Ceara got up the tree no problem but needed some assistance from Keith to get down. I think that may have been the end of her tree climbing adventures!

The girls enjoyed the sidewalk chalk. Liam was thrilled to have some little people around for a change and is quite good at saying 'Emma' and 'Clodagh' now!

After supper we had the older kids take the wee ones to the park for a short time so we could visit over dessert. They were back before we knew it! Nathan and Chad generally don't go to the park without Keith or I so they were a bit tickled at the prospect of going 'alone'!
