Aunt Mary reading Dr. Seuss' "I wish that I had Duck Feet" to Norah. This was so sweet, it was heart-wrenching. Not to be too sad but this was bittersweet to watch because Aunt Mary's voice sounds exactly like my mom's (something I had never noticed or reflected upon). So to hear/see her read to Norah was a tiny glimpse into what it could have been like to see my mother with Norah. For a slight second I could pretend that I was hearing my mother read to Norah and it was beautiful and very sad at the same time. This really caught me by surprise. But I only thought that for a moment and could then just watch how sweet it was to see Norah enjoying time with her Great Aunt Mary.
New Birthday Skirt from Aunt Mary (brought from cousin Suzy's store). Reversible! Woohoo!
This is complete cute-overload.

Norah found her fairy wings when we visited Avoca.

Cakes and Coffee at Avoca!
Quick trip into the Greystones Library.
We had a really lovely dinner at The Hungry Monk, in Greystones. This came highly recommended by our friend Loren so we made the drive down.
And we had to show Aunt Mary the rooftop deck so we decided to top off the evening with a glass of wine upstairs.
Dublin really put on a show for Aunt Mary. This last week was the best weather we've seen.
This is one CLASSY lady! Look at her! (they're looking up at a huge wall-mural in Temple Bar which is the Irish Music Hall of Fame)
We crossed the famous Ha'Penny Bridge to the North side of the Liffey. Something you have to do in Dublin.
