Isn't time flying by.....................


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
