Helping Granddad

Heh-heh-heh, I will sneak up on Granddad, and "help" him!


I see you, you little scallywag!



The Leo and Granddad team!

Close Encounters of a Sheepish Kind

That thing is a lot bigger than me. But if I stay close to Daddy's legs maybe it will think I am as big as it.


All in all though I feel safer up here, looking at what is going on down there.


And what a lot is going on! Grabbing sheep, splashing in footbaths, climbing fences...

Flipping sheep!


And... selling them? What are those two up to?



Aunt Deirdre looks like she knows...

Seaweed: the Trailer

A windy day in Tramore.
Small boy [running gaily]: Eeeeeehhhhhhh! I have a long trailer!


The trailer, like a superhero cape, gives the boy superpowers. He can leap small puddles in several bounds!


He also has the power to give people craaaaazy hair. Full of hearts.

Seaweed: the Movie, coming soon to a theater near you.

Totally Transported

Giddy up, Granny Ann!


Cruising in a chair-car with Aoife.


Little tractor...


BIG tractor!


Fire engine/knight's steed.


My turn to be the transport. Pulling a seaweed trailer in Tramore.


Moissonneuses Batteuses! Combine Harvesters!

Uncle Declan gave me a ride in his combine harvester!


Can you see me? I'm sitting on my cousin Aine, wearing blue boots and red pants, a few meters from hundreds of sharp spinning blades. My dad was a bit nervous about this, but that apparently didn't stop him taking pictures.


When I got back to Granny Ann's, I re-enacted the whole thing (with fewer blades). I like Ireland!


Person at the Window

Dali style...



...and Leo style.

Leo Meets the San Lorenzo Lions

Miarowr. Sad. So sad. Ever so sad. And what's this? Ahrgh. To make things worse, here is this boy, this obnoxiously happy boy. I'll ignore him. Perhaps he'll go away.



He's not going away. I'll ignore him harder.



*^%$%#@!%^!

La Dolce Vita

Keeping cool in Piazza de Ferrari, Genova, Italy.

L++0L{cat}-!EE1{cat}{cat}{cat}




Leo's first attempt to spell his name! He knows there are L's involved, and O's. And sometimes E's, and maybe some other stuff. Possibly cats? This is definitely how "Leo" SHOULD be spelled.



And, on the front of the fridge, we believe this must be his surname. It is very long and there are Z's and P's. This is a better spelling than many we've received in the mail! We especially like the panther tail.

Yes, he's our son





Thanks to Mamie for these great photos of Leo studiously studying a dictionary. For the curious, he was mostly concerned with absorbing every detail of some pictures of diggers.

(Sorry it took over a month to post!)
