If Olan Mills Did Pregnancy Photography...

your welcome!
Since its been last year since Ive posted, I guess ill catch you up! Christopher and I took a fabulous trip to Dublin, Ireland with our friends Amanda Davis, Brown Haynie, and John and Mary Edwards. It was the best new years ever and a true eye opener.....(that there are people who like to drink just as much as Southerners, just with different accents)...for the most part, the Irish were nice people and it is true...they drink all day long, will drink you under the table, and are still standing, though you have fallen fast
The Oliver St. John Gogarty....seriously? Isn't that the best name ever?


Waiting in the airport...Christopher asked me if that was Harry Potters mom...

Temple Bar...the first Irish Bar we went to on the trip!



They usually had Irish bands playing fiddling type music every where we went..

New Years Eve Toasting...


Roaming the streets of Dublin...


Saw Jack at the Wax Museum....


We came upon a beautiful church while walking through Dublin neighborhoods...


Couldn't you just put it all on ice right now?


Traditional Irish bands played everywhere!

A beautiful church in the center of town...

The national Irish Bank

Punishment for being a hot mess...


Christopher demonstrates the 'PROPA way to eat carpaccio'...Grey Poupon please...

guys in kilts...
Guiness is poured two at a time...at least in Christopher land it is

Recuperating in our favorite restaurant (that we went to twice)..called the Farm after a long night in Temple Square...they served persecco with blueberries that moved all around in your glass the whole time...
Another shot of The Farm.....those pics on the wall were all baby farm animals and the light fixtures changed colors from pink to green to blue etc...They served nothing but organically grown food! Delish!!

Amateur photography in front of the Marsh's Library of St. Patricks Cathedral...

Displaying our excellent photogrpahy skills in front of a statue of the guy who started Guiness Bewery and was also part of one of the oldest families in Dublin....I think I just made all that up

St. Patricks Cathedral.....this church is ssooooo old, its really breathtaking...

Seating for super important people very close to the alter....The flags are from different prominent Irish families that used to rule.... (that part is true)

This building used to be an old bank, that was converted to a pub, I wish I had pictures of the inside...its absolutely beautiful..

At the oldest pub in Dublin, built in the 1600's........take a second to realize how OLD that is........ the tap was at your table, which spun around and you poured yourself....luckily, we were very skilled on pouring our own Guiness at this point...!

Yep...

Last pint of the trip....I will miss you Dublin!

Umm...Im late for a business meeting?

Im pregnant! ME TOO!

'You look great! No, you look great! No, seriously, you look so great!'...Is kind of the way this conversation was going I think!  (Hey it's a better version than the real story)... 'I look ridiculous, No I look ridiculous...no seriously'....



So glad we get to go through this together! Love ya Carie!

Weddings....more chances for everyone to lose their cummerbunds!

This Saturday was Joey and Megan Hynes wedding and it was so beautiful! They had the best food and an even better band that everyone had fun dancing to (Well except for me because I was scared of baby shake syndrome)....

And to reinterate how MUCH dancing and showboating was going on.....I call this delightful next section....THATS YO HUSBAND.....(i know, i know, start combing the photogalleries for ridiculous pics of Christopher)...I just think they are having so much fun and the dancing would not have been complete without them


I also had time the weekend to catch up with some great friends!

Doodle Days!!

Georgia Brown and the Boo had so much fun at their Mia's house this weekend. We were all relaxing by the pool when all of a sudden, Georgia decided she was hot and splashed everyone by cannonballing into the pool....she saw all the big balls floating around and went after them!!!

Also, you know when your dog gets all in your face and just stares at you for no good reason? Its because they are bored and think you were put on this earth to entertain them.....the girls were both doing this for extended lengths of time Sunday, that it started to get annoying......so we decided to take them to dog heaven.....PetCo.

Daddy! When do we get to go to Petco and pick out a bone?
I imagine this is what heaven looks like to a dog...

BeauClaire made friends with two beautiful St. Bernards...that slobbered all over me..

This could have very well been the first dog heart attack in history....

Pool Toy overload..
Im ready to go swimming!!

NO IM NOT! NO IM NOT!!
