2015: End Of Year Interview With Jack and Lia

My faithful followers know that over the last couple of years, I have enjoyed doing end of the year interviews with the kids!  They are so fun to look back on, and I know that someday I will really be thankful that I have them.  The Shields family is looking forward to an amazing 2016, and trusts that God has the most perfect plan in store for us, whatever that may be!
