blown away

In June last year, shortly before the summer holidays, we found out that Liam and Malachy had been offered places at METNS... our new school! We had been on the waiting list there for a long time and were SO delighted to find out that we were finally in! We immediately went out to celebrate... with a family meal at Milano's in Dun Laoghaire.

These are some pics of the boys fooling around outside Milano's after dinner that day... Marilyn Monroe style ;)

:-)

Anyway, we're now at the beginning of the third term at our new school and loving it. It's much more free-spirited and basically must more "us" than our old school was, and we love that about it. The boys have made tons of new friends, been blessed with great teachers and are doing very well all round.

BUT... ahem!.... It looks like this little monster will have to work on improving his basic manners before he starts there himself in September 2010!! [I know... some day he'll kill me for ever posting this!!!]

And now... to take your mind off the nose-picking: some random pics from our back garden last June.

:D
