Kid Update

Here are a few updates about the kids...

Eden

• He's three years old.
• He's still trying to learn how to poop in the potty (too busy to stop).
• He LOVES singing and putting on shows for whoever is around.
• He is in Montessori school three half-days a week and loves it.
• His favorite Christmas present was his toy piano.

Eli

• He's seven months old.
• He's always smiling!
• He loves being held (he's like a little koala bear).
• Currently sleep training (slow process due to previous point).
• His favorite Christmas present was his little waffle teething toy.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Your prayers for our family are especially appreciated. Our kids are so precious, growing strong, and loving their life in Ireland.

Empty House, Full Schedule

Today begins our first day with no house guests since before Thanksgiving. We are so grateful for the time we've had with family and friends the past two month, but we are also looking forward to a new year full if exciting new possibilities. 

Here are a few ways you can pray for us as we begin a very busy 2017.  

Please pray that... 

• ...we would adjust to ministry life without daily childcare help.  
• ...we would find our groove with new things coming our way.  
• ...we would be always thankful for the friends God has put around us here in Ireland.  
• ...we would keep our eyes on Jesus as we navigate difficulties in culture, family, and ministry.  

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. We thank God for each one of you giving and praying so we can be here. 

2017

You can't really do a new year's post without a few goals or something. Here are three things we're looking forward to in 2017 and three goals we have for 2017. 

We are looking forward to... 

1.  ...watching our boys continue to grow and develop.
2. ...working hard to do what God has asked us to do. 
3. ...waiting and seeing what God will do through this brand new year. 

Goals we have for 2017: 

1. We hope to see our family grow closer to each other and closer to God. 
2. We hope to see Katy's health restored to 100%.  
3. We hope to see our ministry continue to take shape in tangible, measurable ways. 

Thank you to being on our team. If you give and/or pray, you are on this team. Together we will accomplish what God has called us to in Ireland.

We're so excited to see what He will do in 2017!
