Before I get into this week’s post, did you guys see the blog changes?!  I’m super stoked about them!!  As we prepare to head to Ireland, we knew we needed a way to communicate/share/document all that the Lord is doing.  So, we remade this here blog into our family missions site!  I love the new look – colors and pictures and the avatar header (seriously, we’re a little avatar family!)…
