Then and Now

I found our disc of pictures from our Ireland trip in 2002.  Mom came to visit us in Germany and we surprised her with a trip to Ireland.    One our stops was Bunratty.  I thought it would be fun to share a few from back then and now!

2002 - Going into Bunratty Castle

2011 - Going into Bunratty castle.  Same blue coats plus one new member of the family!

2002 - At the top of the castle tower
2011 - At the top of the castle tower in the same spot!

2002 - By the fireplace in the castle.


2011 - Same fireplace with a much skinnier and blonder Mom!

2002 - Lovebirds at the banquet

2011 - Lovebirds at the banquet.  A little grayer and a few more wrinkles, but still in love!

  4. Girl, you've rocked those almost-ten years! You haven't changed a bit, except for a couple inches of hair. Oh, and a sweet little thing called Jemma! :-)

  5. OMG I just love these pictures! You guys are still so cute and look like you are still so much in love!! Also love the pics of Jemma in the same spot you two were in 2002! This just makes me want to go to Ireland!
    My Dahlias do very well here because our heat is not that bad...today; 82 with 24% humidity and a light breeze. These are from "Swan Island Dahlias" right near my house, they're one of the largest distributors of Dahlia tubers in Oregon because they thrive in our climate.
    Wow, bath water for a pool...guess that means you won't have chattering teeth :O)
