We have seen a few castles and ruins. 

This was a "welcome to Ireland" for us. It was the most amazing rainbow we have ever seen. It looked like you could reach up and grab it. 

Mommy, they have balloons in Ireland!!! 

Lily looking after her little sister, Annie Rose. 

Here is our (almost) six year old son on the top of Rocky Valley, a hike near where I grew up. Great view, now being enjoyed by my son! 

Matthew and Lily with our authentic tour guide, during a visit to a castle in my hometown. 

Grannie seeing Annie for the first time in several months.  

If you look closely you can see an American boy hiding in this Irish tree.... 

The great adventure begins! The Cole family at Bush Intercontinental, July 25, 2006!

Mark took this picture of me and my four children, walking down one of the streets in Dunlaoghaire, Ireland that I walked down when I was younger.

Here is a picture of Matthew and me at the famous Powerscourt waterfall, near Dublin.

Trip to the Houston Butterfly Museum

We took the kids to the butterfly museum on Saturday.

A butterfly has landed. 

Me too! 

Happy in the Ergo on Mommy's back.

Too late. 

What happens if I blow on one? 

Got one!
