Happy New Years Eve!

One of my goals is to update the site more!
We are trying something new (thanks, FIAR girls!) this year. Each hour Ethan is opening a bag with the time written on it. Each bag has an activity for us to do together leading up to midnight and 2008. This is the first year that I'm letting Mr. E stay up for the party!
Much love and peace!

Almost a year

Well, it's been almost a year from the time we got home. Lots has happened-mostly good. Ethan is now in K, we have a great new home, Tink has entered our lives. Tonight I got not one, but two Christmas cards from NI friends. Lovely. It's funny, but most days I think about NI, Belfast or friends from there at least once. When we got home I figured that it was just reverse culture shock-and it was. Still, a year on, I feel that I've left part of my heart in NI and long to go back. I'd live ther eagin, given the chance. I feel blessed by God to have had the chance, to have met the friends, etc.
