To 3 Of Our Biggest Supporters (Stephen, Kenzie & Marissa)

In honor of national sibling day I wanted to give a special shout out to our brother and sisters who have made this journey to Ireland so much better!

Stephen, I remember the day we told you, mom and dad about how we wanted to go to Ireland. You weren't phased by the announcement but you knew mom might need extra support during the craziness so you just quietly stood up behind her. It's such a perfect example of who you are. In everything we say and do you are there; steadfast, wise, and supportive. God knows we need that!

P.S. Thank you for falling in love with Ireland when you came to visit. From the Irish scenery to the bakeries, it was so fun to witness how you enjoyed it all.

Oh my dearest Kenzer Wenzer! You have this magical ability to make us feel like we haven't left at all. To you Ireland isn't that far away. So while we're away you just keep making up songs for us to hear, waving frantically at us on Skype, asking when we're getting pregnant and calling us no matter the time difference. Thank you for reminding us that distance really isn't that big of a deal when you are family.

Rissa Roo, your encouragement, the truth you speak in love, and sharing your Abilenian life with us has made this transition to Ireland so much easier. Through you we see the fruit of a spiritual legacy we left behind in Abilene and it gives us hope on the days that we don't see the harvest here in Ireland. Thanks for the hope and joy you provide us! You spur us onto greater things.

There are a lot of things we're proud to be known by in our life but by far one of our favorites is being known as Stephen, Kenzie, and Marissa's brother and sister. We love you and we're so proud of you!
