We’ve just arrived back home from a lovely visit to Cork.

Ava and Jake visited their cousins and we saw their fabulous new house.

Their house is a to die for mix of a country setting yet close enough to ammenities that you never feel isolated. Looking out their windows it feels as if you nestled in the wilds of Ireland. It’s so peaceful that I could have moved us all in had their not been protests from the current inhabitants. The inside is equally as idyllic.
Needless to say, we had a fabulous time as did the little ones.

They spent much of the days jumping on the trampoline, going down the slide and playing with the hens. The fresh air was lovely for them and especially lovely for the restful nights it provided for us!

After our fun filled weekend, we arrived home Sunday afternoon to a cold and cloudy day. Jake immediately ran outside to his own garden. Dressed in full gear (coat, hat, gloves) he stood next to our metal bin and gazed at the fence (3 feet away).

Me: “Jake, do you want to ride your scooter?”

Jake: “No.”

Me: “Jake, do you want to ride your bike?”

Jake: “No.”

I felt a bit sad as I closed the door and watched him stare longingly at the fence.

I just know he was waiting for a trampoline and a bigger garden to appear.

Bring on the new house!
