Summer Visitors. Yay!

Mom & Dad Peace
Glendalough
Well, this has been a busy summer so far.  Our highlight has been the visit from each of our sets of parents.  In the weeks that they were each here, we saw more of Ireland than we've seen the entire time we've lived here in Ireland!

One thing is for certain though - the more we see of Ireland, and the more we engage with the culture here, the more we love living here on this little island in the North Atlantic!

Cliffs of Moher
During our parents' visits, we toured many castles (too many if you ask my dad!), practiced driving on loads of tiny, curvy Irish roads (sometimes very scarey!), saw the beautiful Irish countryside (GREEN!), were overwhelmed by the Cliffs of Moher, and most importantly, got to spend loads of time catching up with our dear parents!  It was fun sharing our Irish way of live with them and they really seemed to enjoy seeing where we live, shop for groceries, see where the kids go to school, getting to meet our friends, and just get an idea how we get on in everyday life really.

We were so blessed to have our mums & dads here! God is so good to us.  Please pray for Jen's mum as she is battling a rare form of cancer again.
