So far, 2008 has been a good year. We are just VERY tired of winter and happy that spring is on the way =) Ciara is 4 1/2 years old now and in her 2nd year of preschool and is growing like a weed! Aisling is almost 2 1/2 and is also growing up so fast. She is potty trained now...No more diapers, hooray!!
Ciara goes to preschool twice a week for 1/2 day and Aisling goes to play group once a week (with me) and loves it. Both of them LOVE their weekly gymnastic classes. Ciara says she wishes she could go everyday. I'm so glad we finally found an extracurricular activity that she likes (she is so shy these days!) They also enjoy going to our church, especially for my Mom's Together Bible study on Thursday mornings. They get to play with their friends and learn about God's love for us =)
We had an awesome Easter weekend with friends and family and I took lots of pix. Hope you enjoy!

Up too early to mention...
Aisling is so intent on opening her chocolate bunny that she doesn't even notice her nosy big sister searching through her basket!
Desperate for chocolate, she gives up on the chocolate bunny and moves on to the easier to open peanut butter egg. She's so focused on opening it that she still doesn't notice Ciara rummaging through her basket (she's just like her mother when it comes to chocolate...)
Aisling looking cool in her new Bono-like Dora shades
Loving the toys from their Easter baskets and very happy after finally opening and eating some yummy chocolate =)
Excited for the Easter breakfast and Easter bunny at the carousel (and VERY tired of me trying to get a picture of them together!)
