May 2007: Ireland

A quick trip to Ireland before we head home for a long awaited visit. We flew into Cork, rented a car, and headed around Bantry and Kenmare staying at both the Bantry House and thanks to Carol & Bret a beautiful night at Sheen Falls Lodge!

Thank you Carol & Bret for our wonderful present!

May 2007: Dunboy Castle

No trip to Ireland is complete without a trip to see "Dad's" castle. Little did we know that someone else also had their eye on the castle! To our surprise a new 5-star hotel was being built! I guess he was not the only one to think that there was something special about the location!

May 2007: Ange & Eri come to visit!

Cousin Ange & cute baby Eri come for a visit. He had a great time exploring the new world of crawling and having mom chase him! We had fun going to the farm down the road to see the new babies of spring. John taught Eri all about life on the Farm, introduced him to new baby pigs and the rather large mama pigs! We saw a Dundee dog hard at work and then down for a long rest.

6 months and counting!

It's a girl... At least we are almost sure it is a girl! 24 weeks and growing

Vienna: April 2007

John hard at 'work' in the Czech & Vienna!

February 2007: Paris and London

Gianna came to visit! We decided to spend the weekend in Paris and headed straight from the airport to the chunnel. A few hours drive later we arrived in Paris. John , Gianna and I met up with our friends Kim & her girls and enjoyed some true french food. After a few days of eating and drinking, we headed to London for some sightseeing and shopping.

Snow around our house. Only 2 inches, but work and the schools around the area were cancelled!

January 2007: Bill comes for a visit

Bill came for a week to attend the Father and Son day at the base. The rest of the visit we toured the countryside and ate at great pubs. It was really nice to see Bill and to have time to visit with him.

January 2007: Maldives

In an attempt to escape the British winter weather, we heading to Anantara in the Maldives for a week. It was beautiful! John got to swim with the reef sharks and huge manta rays. Snorkeling on the reefs was out of this world.
