Farewell Potluck at the Leen's

It's true... at the end of this month we are headed to Ireland for a couple years!


Doing virtual cartwheels due to excitement, yet at the same time about to have panic attacks at all that still needs to be done in the next 2 weeks!  I also constantly worry about the boys adapting to the change, missing their friends, etc etc, but according to ex-pat advice, as long as mom keeps things as normal as possible and sets up home as close to as they are used too, they'll be fine! (no pressure eh!)


Brad and Dawn kindly had a farewell party for us on April 3rd.  It was perfect!  Cute decorations, outdoor fun for kids and adults, Tex-Mex food, birthday cake for Ruben and sweet fellowship.  THANK-YOU soooo much for doing that for us, opening up your house to so many people, preparing food, making cookies, setting up, cleaning up, etc etc.


We'll miss y'all too!  Sniff sniff!


I love this picture, I think it needs to be framed and on the wall!
The best cookies made by Dawn!


Another yummy Tres Leche cake!
