Ryan in the Box

Ireland is so expensive we can't afford to buy Ryan toys so he has to play in this tiny red box.

Push up

On May 26th Ryan and I went to the park because it was a beautiful day (by Irish standards, not California) and Ryan did his first push-up on the grass at Herbert Park. Since then he has become great at scooting along the hard wood floor but isn't crawling yet. We have more photos to post but have been busy with our move as mentioned before. Ryan is becoming cuter by the day and I try to capture it on the camera whenever I can.

Up the river

Our year lease on our place on the Dodder river in Donnybrook is coming up, and we're taking the opportunity to move to something a bit less expensive. The new place is about 60 meters up the river. It's got a little back yard, so that'll be nice for Whiskey. We might even enjoy it ourselves.

We didn't strictly have to move. It's nice to save some money and we don't need all the room we have in this house. I've decided it's going to be Ireland 2.0 for us, and the beginning of the end of our stay here.
