"Reunited and it feels so good!"

Two great things happened this morning:  Number first, Craig and Merschon got here!  Now our whole entire team is together in Dublin for the first time EVER!  We get to spend the next three days together dreaming and scheming about what life will be like when we all get here for good.  Number second, I got baby Ashlyn to fall asleep all by myself!  I've been trying all week to bounce her to sleep and today I finally won!  I guess I should mention that when I tried to lay her down in her bed she woke up and started screaming her head off.  
I quickly handed her back.

 Then Denise and I walked to LIDL (pronounced little or lye-dl or lee-dl) to get some groceries.  LIDL is really just ALDI with a different name.  Of course we took our own bags, but I wouldn't let Denise take her little trolley because then we would look too dorky.  We decided the two of us could manage the bags on our own.  Sure enough, we made it there and back with no trouble at all.

I can't believe the first week of my trip is already over!  Only three more day until I head back to the States...

Hopefully I will get to skype home later today.  It's Saturday, which means hamburgers for dinner.  We're having a potluck after church tomorrow.  And peanut butter pie for Scott's birthday tomorrow night.  Happy Birthday Eve, Scott!
