Hi All,
Well I cannot
believe that that we haven’t updated this blog since Christmas. Time is just
flying by eh! It’s pretty scary how quickly the kids are growing up.
Ashling is
doing well at school after a shaky start. She had the misfortune to break her
femur quite badly half way through her first term, and so had to wear a full
spica cast, which was really tough on her. She missed a lot of school and it
has taken her until now to catch up.
She bounced
back well physically, and is now stronger than she was pre leg break. We did a
lot of rehabilitation and it has paid off. She has also started weekly
horse-riding with the RDA here (Riding for the Disabled) and she absolutely
loves that. Her pony’s name is Sparky and he is perfect for her. You can see
her riding here:

Ashling
loves school. She has some gorgeous friends, like Ava and Gabby. She even
fancies a little boy called Charlie and they have kissed on the lips apparently
(can I remind you that she’s 5!!!). She’s obviously taking after her Daddy, and
starting early! Ha ha.
Jamie is
growing up so fast, it’s just crazy. She’s only 3 and half and she’s counting
down the days to school! She doesn’t start until she’s five so we’re going to
be head-wrecked! She’s a great little girl and melts my heart on a daily basis.
Her favourite thing to do at the moment is singing and going swimming. You can see her singing here...

Here are the
two girls singing Xmas songs mid year – what’s new? This is when Ash was in the
spica cast...
We recently
went on holiday to Australia and had a fantastic time. It was our first real
holiday overseas since we went to Ireland 3 years ago so it was well overdue.
We took the girls to Sea World and to The Australian Zoo. Their heads nearly
fell off looking around! It was just gorgeous watching their reactions to
everything. Ger and I loved every minute of it. We even got to catch up with our
good friends, the Hennessey’s, while we were there (hence their son is in some
of the videos – no we haven’t had a little boy since we last blogged!!!)
Here are
some videos of our trip. Hope you enjoy them.
Take care,
From Car and
Ger xxx
