October 15 - Bubbles in the sun

We have had a fair amount of Irish rain, so Adaline was THRILLED when she woke up from her nap on Wednesday and discovered sunshine outside. As I recall, it rained all morning, so it was particularly wonderful to find some sun outside. We ran outside to blow bubbles and had a great time in our front "yard!"

This is the view from our apartment window, and the trees have helped us gauge the progress of fall in Cork. While the picture doesn't make the view seem all that special, we have all grown to love our little patch of trees which are a border line for the college campus.
This is our front door and mailbox - we walk in this door every day and are the apartment on the left on the first floor. Thank goodness we aren't on the third floor - getting the stroller up all those stairs would have gotten old after a few days...
We decided to celebrate Wednesday. Why, you might ask... Well, it was Wednesday! :) Do you need another reason to go out to dinner? We had heard about a restaurant named Scoozi's and decided to try it out.

On our way down Western Road, we ran into Adaline's classmate, Anna, and her parents. Adaline and Anna held hands for about half of the walk, and Adaline gave Anna a hug and kiss when we turned off to go to our restaurant. Very cute.
