I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

The Big Four-Oh!

Hi! It's April now. My computer and I broke (broke being the operative word) up for a bit. Don't ask. We're back.

 Anyway, I turned the big four-oh on March 12 and my awesome husband took me to Dublin to celebrate my birthday and St. Patrick's Day!

 Not wanting to miss out on cake, we pre-celebrated my big day:



 Then it was off to Ireland! We stayed in the middle of it all at the Westbury Dublin where my weekend started out with birthday wishes spelled out in chocolate and just got better from there!

 With two littles we made the call not to stand in the (constant and long) queue for the Book of Kells, but we did enjoy Trinity College and many other not-to-miss attractions.









Dublin Zoo, Phoenix Park and The Guinness Storehouse:























Some St. Patrick's Day parade fun before we headed home. I am pretty sure we stopped at the booth that painted marijuana leaves instead of shamrocks ;-P







We made more than one stop at the Disney Store, larger than life Spiderman, Hulk, Captain America, Sven and Anna...what's not to love!?


 Yay, Dublin!

 PS: Happy birthday, Melissa!
