This afternoon around 1:15 p.m. we returned home from our five day holiday in Wexford located in Ireland's southeast. We had a wonderful time and spent most of the time swimming in the indoor pool. The boys I think are part fish as they couldn't get enough of the swimming. Aislinn by the end of the week was enjoying it as well as long as she was snug in daddy's arms while in the water. Also when getting ready to head down to the pool she would say "Snowsuit on, Daddy? Snowsuit on?" Yep, she was referring to her swimsuit and for some reason unbeknownst to us she kept calling it a 'snowsuit'. Absolutely adorable I have to say. The time away was well needed and well appreciated as we regrouped as a family after a busy summer. It took some getting use to learning how to sleep 6 in a crowded room, but we managed, and the kids were great.
Once home we jumped back into 'life' with catching up on mail, financial things, correspondence, laundry, etc. Tonight Andrea and I both went walking, at separate times of course (didn't want you to think we would leave the kiddos home alone). In the morning it's Luke's turn to have breakfast with daddy which I'm looking forward to. Also tomorrow I'll be collecting our friends the Mullens from the airport as they arrive back from the States after being away for the summer. It will be good to see them again. Tomorrow will also be reviewing for Sunday's message in Balbriggan.
Sunday we're back at Balbriggan speaking, then that afternoon we're hosting a bbq for our neighbors who are moving Wednesday (Andrea's making the Tesco order tonight). We've invited a few other neighbors to come as well, mostly the families of the wives who meet once a month, as we say goodbye to our neighbors who have become our friends and lived on Belton Park Gardens for quite some time now. It should be a full afternoon and evening around the bbq. The neighbors have mentioned several times how much they appreciate this. We trust it will be an opportunity to show our love for them.
Next week will be a busy week as well, especially with school starting up again on Wednesday. Cell is also next week, along with a couple driver's lessons (one for me and Andrea has her first), an appointment with an accountant who will help us get set up so we can properly pay into the Irish tax system, an ABWE Team meeting on Friday, and so forth.
It was good to be away as a family this past week, but I have to say that it's also good to be back home.
