Mama and Papa Dohm

Niall and I flew back from London to Belfast on a Monday night.  We both had to be at work the next morning... and when I got home, Heather was waiting on our apartment doorstep!  It was great to see her again and hear about her adventures in France with Taylor.  I hope to make it out there later in the year because it sounds like a pretty neat place (and I need some more time with T-Payne!)

My parents were in Sweden visiting an old friend and having some old folk adventures before flying back into Dublin and then making their way up to Belfast.  They arrived Wednesday night... just thinking about it now, I can't believe they've already come and gone.  It went by so fast!  It was surreal having them sitting on our couch, sipping on a cup of tea, and experiencing firsthand everything that they had previously seen only through Skype or photos.  I had to work on Thursday but managed to get the weekend off which was great.  We headed down to Naas on Friday to spend some time with Niall's parents and see a bit of Dublin.

They made it! :)

Temple Bar, Dublin

Dad looks like maybe he should put one down...  :D  This was after our tour of the Guinness Storehouse

Well, once again these pictures are taking awhile to download and so I'm going to take a wee break before posting more of the Dohm fam back in Northern Ireland.  Hope you're enjoying being able to see some of their trip!  Love you all.
