Today is Annabel and her friend Hanna's first day of Horse Camp at Morgan Valley Farm. This is a beautiful facility with indoor arena and lots of beautiful Morgans. The girls share all the care of a horse for the week and their horse's name is Jiffy. The horse with the little girl with blue shorts on is Jiffy. The girl's are SO excited. A whole week of horses,horses,horses and a horse show on Friday.

Another photo of our adorable little nephew!

Hi again

Today we ventured all the way to Meadow brook which is about an hour away... to the Hi 5 concert. Not sure what Dad thought of it all... but it was a fun outing and the kids enjoyed themselves! Doesn't the blond hi5 girl look like a Barbie doll!

Here is our new nephew baby boy at two days old... Mason Te Amo William Milroy... a doll! LOVE him!!

How funny are these photos from Andrea's BBQ??

We went to my girl friend Andrea's house for another BBQ today ( and also to try and get rid of some of the food from yesterday).... got into more Margaritas... but as you can see... they have a lovely house on a golf course... just another beautiful summer day with great friends!

Every summer we like to have a big BBQ and this year we had about forty people come over. It was a lot of fun with Margaritas and lots of good BBQ type food. As you can see from the photos it was a beautiful day! The kids were all worn out when they went home at about 8pm... and then a few of us lit the fire-pit and had a few extra drinks after the sun went down. Just a lovely day. :)

We have a new addition to the Family!! Kieran's sister Siobhan had her first baby... a little boy 7lbs 4 .. no name yet... but what a cutie!

Welcome to the world little man!

It was such a beautiful day for a run today... so we all headed to Gallup park so I could run the Gallup Gallop 5k. Kieran took such great photos of my backside (which goes to show how fast I was going).... so here are some lovely shots he took of the kids! :)

Hi again! Another week down ands we have been very busy. Annabel has been going to sports camp every day and is really enjoying that, but is so tired every afternoon. She loves tennis and the ball games they play. They also go swimming every day.
Dad, Connor and I have been heading into the gym every day after dropping Annabel off at camp. You should see how much Dad's walking has improved just in the few weeks he has been here. Dad rides a stationary bike and walks the track at the gym. He swims and then has a Sauna. He has no stomach trouble now and his eating habits are much improved. The kids really enjoy having Isoisa here.
We had a great evening on Thursday night as we got a baby-sitter and Kieran, Dad and I went and saw the movie Jindabyne at an arty type theatre here in Ann Arbor. It was like going home for two hours! FUN!
Then this afternoon we all went to the Celtic Festival in Saline. It is about fifteen minutes away from us and is held in a park on the river. Very beautiful place to hear bag pipes filling the air. The bands were great, the food fantastic and the beer was flowing... so fun was had by all. Dad made friends with a couple of Knights... Connor got into the spirit... Kieran buddied up to a Scotsman... Annabel went jousting on a little horse on a railroad thingy.... and I watched over everyone....:)

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Kieran, Connor, Annabel and Dad went to the Michigan Thunder Air Show today. It was a bit hot, but the kids enjoyed seeing all the planes. Connor especially liked the Shark B40 Fighter and the fly overs. :)

It is Fourth of July here and just like years past we went into Ann Arbor for breakfast and then watched the parade. It was a little overcast, which is an improvement on previous years being really hot. Fun as usual though!
