So I  have been chilly in Cork at my friend Edel's house, while we wait on the update of the Ship Inspections by the DNV ( DNV is somewhat like European Coast Guard). Sunday, after Mass, we went to Edel's nephew Brian's house to visit with his family. Lori, his wife and their first born Mia, came to OCNJ, along with Edel, her 2 kids and her brother Colm, for a 2 week vacation about 6 years ago. It was great to catch up with them and reunite with Colm (granddad), Lori and Mia again and to meet Brian and new additions Ava and Jax. All the kids were in great form, full of laughs and smiles! Below is their whole family at Jax's christening - he is now 6 months old. I forgot to get a picture when we were there, so Lori kindly sent me these. Mia is so grown up now at 8 and a lucky duck because her  granddad scored them a lottery place for Taylor Swift tickets, for Dublin shows, and she and Lori are going to Sunday June 30th show!
