The Gallic Chickens!

Before we made it to hillsborough to attend Tommy's long awaited reptile party, we visited the gallics and their "wildlife". Of course zara loved every second! What a fun house!

Zara on Tour

We took a great trip up to New Jersey to go to cousin Tommy's birthday party. Before mommy and zara hit the road, Zara just had to stop by our local Wagshals tea party! And luckily she ran into her new classmate Hannah! How fun!
Then we drove almost directly to morgan s soccer game in mountain lakes. I spent many a day with dalhausser near a soccer field so this felt like it was coming full circle somehow.

Last days in Anglesey!

Unky Ackie and daddy!

Views from the top!

Stunning moments

From Kilkenny to the Garn
Across the Irish Sea

zara turned 6 and up 48 pounds! 3 ft and 9 inches!

Embarrassing to admit but this post is so overdue... Since her birthday was over a month ago, but just for the record she celebrated her birthday breakfast in Kilkenny, Ireland, with the Donnelley gals then had lunch on the Irish Sea, and the day was topped off with a birthday cake on the isle of Anglesey in North Wales with the Pendletons.   What a summer it was!  We landed back in the US on August 8th and Zara celebrated with her DC friends at Palisades on the 11th. Nonstop action to say the least.   As I am sure there will most definitely be a summer album, I will only share the fewest pictures here.

Zara loving first grade ...

...and apparently loving a nice classmate too! Last night she prophesied that her best part of her day was that Finn gave her a flower and this morning he did!
