Dublin

We tried to visit Ireland last year but the volcanic ash had other plans for us :) We knew we couldn't leave here without making the trip, so we loaded up the girls and took the ferry for a quick trip. Both girls were such good travelers and went from pub to pub with mommy and daddy so they could taste the delicious Guiness! We had planned to drive through the countryside and visit Cork as well, but a 4 year old with a stomachache had other plans (which included washing lots of bedding at 4 am). Oh, well...someday :)

It tastes so much better in Dublin :)

Our Last Spring

You may start seeing a trend in the posts, most of them starting out with 'Our Last..." We will be moving back to the states in the summer and have started checking things off of our 'things to do before we leave' list.

Spring may be the best season in England: flowers, lambs and sunshine. We took the girls up to The Stray to get some pictures in the crocus flowers. Caroline was not too impressed with laying in the flowers. Ella was somewhat compliant, but wanted to be running around like a crazy person. Here is what we came out with :)

Ella's 4th Birthday, a little late :)

Where did March go??? I cannot believe that our little Ella is 4 years old! She decided to have a Princess party at the bowling alley on the base, which was just fine with me--less work :) All of her best friends came out to celebrate with her and she had a fabulous time.

Let's get this party started!

Strike! (well maybe not)

Ella and her best friends--Jacob, Justin, Charlie & Isabelle

Ready to dig in (I love Charlie's face)

YUM!!

Where is the birthday girl?

Charlie, would you like a bite of this stale chocolate covered ice cream cone?

Happy Birthday Princess Ella, We love you!!
