Brian has numerous cousins in Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland; we've been able to get to know several of them and have enjoyed our trips up North away from Dublin to visit family and receive such warm, loving Irish hospitality (which means lots of food, tea/coffee, and drinks all around). There have been several babies born into the family within the last 2 years; Brennan is the youngest of them all.

We took a trip up North with Grandma and Grandpa Carter to visit and introduce Brennan to his Irish family; he was loved on by everyone. This trip marked Brennan's first road trip and overnight weekend away...he did remarkably well as did I (I was a bit worried how we would do away from the comfort of our own place during such a delicate newborn time). It was a weekend of laughter, sharing of stories (the Irish are notorious for their story-telling), and good ol' family time.

They came to visit us 2 days after we arrived home. We saw them
