Old Buildings

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:20:00 +0000

The Book of Kells is believed to have been written in the year of 806 and is housed in the Ground floor-underground-of a library built between 1712 and 1732. Entrance to Trinity College

It's a superstition that if you walk through this monument before you

graduate you'll fail your exams. Our tour guide had exams in a few weeks

and didn't walk through it!

All these multi-painted buildings are awesome...

There are little alleyways with shops everywhere....

Clondalkin Lookout Tower-we came across this walking around looking for a church to attend. We never found the church but found a few towers.

They know the "Molly Malone" song, now they finally get to meet her.

I guess Spokane is not the only place that has a Bloomsday?

First Day at Apartment

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:28:00 +0000

We arrived at the apartment around 9:30am and were planning on leaving our luggage in the lobby until our room was ready. It was already ready and we got a bit of sleep. Yahoo!

Great kitchen when you want to make small meals, or if you want to "keep up" on your laundry everyday (the washer/dryer is the corner appliance with the door in the front).

Mommy (and daddy) getting some sleep the first morning in dublin. Kids got their first taste of Irish TV.

Can't forget the frogs

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:35:00 +0000

I couldn't forget all of our frog friends. Caleb has named two of our buddies "Hero" and "Little Hero".

We found this little hopper in our driveway. He's one of the bigger frogs we've come across.

Then there is our "peeping Tom" frog. He was trying to watch the Olympics with us one night. (he's hanging upside down on the window in our family room) He was up there for at least 1/2 an hour!

Summer Strawberry

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:18:00 +0000

Lauren has been working on successfully eating a strawberry all summer. And then last night she achieved greatness and finally ate her first strawberry. This was the one after.

Backyard friends

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:56:00 +0000

"SuperTurtle" was given his name by Caleb. He is our 3rd turtle and our largest turtle we have rescued this summer. We found two of them trying to cross the street~and not in the crosswalk.

Our little hopping friend, I found while pruning this flower in the front yard.

Caleb's First Day at PreSchool

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:49:00 +0000

Caleb's first day was on Thursday August 28th. He really likes Mrs. Lowther, his teacher. He has come home singing new songs, talking about his classmates and has sawdust in his socks from playing on the playground. We can't wait to watch him grow this next school year.

The Maixner's Visit!

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:23:00 +0000

Madison Ann and Lauri Maixer came to visit us from Hillsboro Oregon! Yahoo what a blast. Lots of fun. We went to the beach (4 hours to and from, but only 30mins on the beach ... lots of rain and wind. booho!), and they went to Asheville. The kids had lots of fun catching up and running around.

Window Coverings

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:17:00 +0000

We finally put up curtains in our downstairs family room. It took forever to decide, but we lucked out thanks to Target!

We're in North Carolina

noreply@blogger.com (The Wheelers) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:43:00 +0000

Okay,

This is a "little" late. We moved to NC at the Beginning of March 2008. We had an apartment for about 2 months. Our house in Oregon sold in 1 week and we found a house in Cary in 1 weekend. Wow. God is good!
