Isabella Catherine's Baptism

Isabella was baptised on December 28, 2008 in the Cathedral in Cavan. Her godmother Auntie Liz was there but her godfather Chris Keefe could not be there.  Welcome to God's family!

Christmas 2008 Family Photo

Christmas in Cavan!

Our family gathered in our tiny house in Cavan for Christmas, celebrating Isabella's first Christmas and Andrew's second!

Attempt at a Christmas picture

Convincing Andrew to pose with his sister for a Christmas picture proved impossible!

Joyful Christmas preparation

Waiting for our new baby

As November stretched into December, and baby had still not been born, we settled in to wait. Here are some pictures of Andrew waiting for his baby brother/sister to be born.

Grandma, Uncle Bro John and Uncle Fr Michael arrive!

To help us get ready for new baby, Grandma arrived, bringing Uncle Fr Michael and Uncle Br John! We read, took walks, played the banjo and looked at tractors, and waited for baby!
