MN Girl in Eire: July 2015
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
MN Girl in Eire. Monday, July 13, 2015. Yesterday morning Paul left early to go to Louisburgh to give his family a hand with a project, so Gemma and I had a 'Girl's Day'. Our first stop was Supervalu to get a few groceries (and the Starbucks that just opened right next to it 😊). On our way out, Gemma had to 'play a football match' and 'kick some goals for Mayo' in a display that is set up in the store! After nap time, we went to Gemma's favourite local park, St. Catherine's Park. We had a great day!

MN Girl in Eire: April 2015
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
MN Girl in Eire. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Today we took advantage of the sunshine (although it was still a bit cool! And enjoyed a day at the Dublin Zoo. We hadn't been there since September, and Gemma got into the experience a lot more this time- talking about all the animals nearly constantly! There are a few little playgrounds throughout the zoo, and she loved playing at these and sitting with all the wooden animals! We ended the outing with an ice cream treat! Phew, that's me all caught up for now!

MN Girl in Eire: June 2015
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
MN Girl in Eire. Sunday, June 21, 2015. We had a great day today celebrating Father's Day! It started with breakfast at home. Next, we headed to Ikea. The plan was to get Gemma's big girl bed, but the boxes were too long to fit in Paul's van! Of course we found other things though, and Gemma had fun playing. Paul will have to go back during the week with a bigger van to get the bed! We headed into Dublin city centre next, and our first stop was Queen of Tarts for a yummy lunch. On May 28th, my dad arrive...

MN Girl in Eire: 4th of July Weekend!
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2015/07/4th-of-july-weekend.html
MN Girl in Eire. Monday, July 13, 2015. 4th of July Weekend! Even though it's not a holiday here, we celebrated the 4th of July weekend by heading to Louisburgh to visit Paul's parents. I finished work a bit early on Friday afternoon, and we loaded up one of Paul's bigger vans (usually one of his employees uses it, but the air conditioner is broken in my car, and we didn't want to make the drive without AC)! It was a cosy drive, as all three of us were in the front seat, with me in the middle!

MN Girl in Eire: July 2014
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
MN Girl in Eire. Saturday, July 26, 2014. The past two weekends we travelled to Louisburgh to stay with Paul's parents. Paul's sister and her husband were there too, as they spent the entire week there, so Gemma had an even bigger audience for her antics! The first weekend we left Dublin early Saturday morning (July 12th) and arrived in time for lunch and Gemma's nap. The weather wasn't the greatest the rest of the day, but we visited Paul's aunt and uncle, so Gemma got to see the sheep and hens! After v...

MN Girl in Eire: May 2014
http://mngirlineire.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
MN Girl in Eire. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. On Saturday, Gemma was 21 months old! I've covered most of our activity for the month in my posts about our trip to Minnesota, but here's a little more of what Gemma's up to:. I can't even begin to list all of the new words Gemma is saying! She pretty much tries to repeat everything we say now and combines two words all of the time, for example: 'auntie's house', 'daddy's car', 'mommy help', etc. She continues to be very independent! Despite being independent, Gemm...

MN Girl in Eire. Monday, January 5, 2015. The End of Christmas Vacation. We spent the days after Christmas laying low (and with me on another round of antibiotics due to a sinus infection) and enjoying visits with friends and family. On Tuesday, December 30th I took Gemma to a playground in Westport and out to lunch. Not a bad view from the top of the slide! And, that evening, we took some last photos in front of the Christmas tree for this year. Nothing is a secret anymore! Paul got back to Dublin on Sa...

MN Girl in Eire: August 2014

MN Girl in Eire. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Gemma turned two on Sunday! Where have the years gone? If I had to use one (non-superlative! Word to describe Gemma, it would be independent. A new favorite phrase is 'Gemma do it! She wants to do everything herself and can get quite upset if she can't do something. But, don't even think about trying to help her! Gemma is also a sweet little girl- generous with hugs and kisses! Here's a summary of Gemma at TWO! It is so funny! Gemma counts to 20. Gemma loves her...

MN Girl in Eire. Sunday, September 28, 2014. One of the tigers. Saturday, September 27, 2014. As I haven't shared any pictures of Gemma in over a month, I figured I better catch up! Playing with her Aqua Doodle- a birthday gift! Looking at the ducks in the river after dinner in Lucan village one Sunday evening. Chilling out in her tent- we only had it up for about 48 hours before it broke! At a BBQ at Sean and Jean's. Pasta and strawberries for dinner! Play Doh is a favourite! Helping Mommy make dinner.
