7 Years Ago
Wow! As the man said when his wife thew the clock at him - 'time flies'!
Just look at these amazing photos from 2011 - both Granny and Grandad were both still with us; Daniel is just a little lad and everyone else is having a great time with the hens. It must have been Easter, the cherry blossom flowers are on the trees - but not this year. It's been soooooooo cold!
Enjoy!

Christmas 2017
It's been a while since we last posted here and in that time a lot has happened! We've just had Christmas, the first without Granny Nora and as we were all under the weather, it was certainly a different celebration this year. Here's a nice photo of Granny and me taken in the full of her health at the dining table in Castleknock, to bring back some happy memories of the time we all spent there together.
We eventually got to Dublin on 27th December; we were all still a bit sniffly so as you can see we had to get a driver as I needed a nap.
We caught up with Uncle Paul and Auntie Niamh and they both send their love. Also Ciara and Aoife say hi, they are now even taller than I am, so I think it is time we stopped feeding them.
Santa came here and hopefully he found his way to you too. As always, I look forward to going shopping with you for your presents - so have a think about what you would like and let's get shopping.
Anyway, here's hoping we catch up in 2018 and that all is good with you there. Love always! Dad

With the leaves turning and the temperature dropping, it doesn't feel like summer anymore. However, with Isaac's birthday in August, we've great memories of super parties with Bouncy Castles, three different types of cake, blackcurrant jelly and a very special night when we made a wish, and Tadhg and Isaac lit a wonderful lantern which floated away in the night sky.

On this lovely summer's day, we remember with love and affection Donal Mulryan, grandpa to Aoife, Tadhg, Ciara, Isaac and Daniel who died on 19th April 2012, a few days short of his 80th birthday. He was a wonderful grandparent to all of his grandchildren, and these photos show how much they loved him.

7th February was Tadhg's birthday, and Daniel, Dad and Caroline enjoyed choosing cards and presents for him - Daniel was particularly pleased to send his big brother a dinosaur birthday card, as he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up!
'Son, I got you this birthday card because it reminded me of you..' |
'It's got a mind of its own! Happy birthday Dude!' |
Very proud of his card for his big brother |
'Brother A big birthday wish..' |
'Hope it's exploding with fun - have a blast - love Dan' |
Dad with Tadhg's present |
Which one's your favourite? |
'Happy birthday Tadhg - Time for Anarchy! love Dad x' |
