Welcome Home!

They are finally home after completing their mission in Palmyra. We are happy to see them and their talks were very inspiring. I think they influenced a lot of people to go on a mission in the audience. I enjoyed both of their talks very much.

Linnea and Russell - they are having another grandchild next year (Claudia). That will be 18 or 19 for them, I'm not sure. NOT FAIR.

I could not get a good picture of Bob - he's going to kill me for posting this, but it's the best one of the day (really). Steph is beautiful enough to take the focus off of him (hahahaha).

Here's three people who are having a hard time "fitting" in the picture. Kay had sunglasses on, but I made him take them off. (Rock star)

Chelsea and Julie - BEAUTIFUL - both of them. Chelsea is a camera buff and has taken some really cool pictures herself. I'll have to post some of them sometime. She's really artistic.

Michael almost escaped and Tyler, Melanie, and Toby DID escape before I could get my batteries recharged to take some pictures.

Ben and Kerri and their darling little boys, Milt and James.

Here's the whole gang, Kay and I took turns taking the picture, so I'm in this one and he's in the next. Still too dark to see well.

Here's the whole gang with Kay - My camera does not do "inside" pictures well. Sorry. I think I'm gonna switch back to my old camera...it's a longer wait between pictures, but much better quality.


Ben, Linnea, and Kerri. Not the best picture of Kerri, she'll probably kill me.

This is James (Ben and Kerri's little guy). He LOVES Pirates of the Caribbean (a man after my own heart). He went down to the "Norm Hammond Memorial Theater" and watched Pirates, happy as a clam to be down there all by himself. What a little cutie.

Tiffany dumped her boyfriend, and is now free to "date" new people. She's so beautiful, (and looks like her dad) it shouldn't be hard to find one.

Well, I finally got a minute to post these pictures from the Welcome Home. Doug and Delores both really did a great job with their talks, very inspiring and their testimonies were impressive. I enjoyed the meeting and I know everyone else did. It's nice to have them home, but I think I communicated more with them while they were on their mission, hahahaha. True of Andrea and Jeff as well, hahahaha. Oh well, I love the blogs, just for keeping up.

Ethan had emergency surgery on Monday, but is home now and all is well. He had a bowel obstruction but it's all fixed. I'm feeling better (still) but not quite right about it, ya know. I feel like my medicine must not be working if I'm not upchucking, hahahaha. Guess I'll see for sure at my next check-up.

Gotta run pick up Vanessa from school. Love to you all. Leave your comments. xoxoxoxoxoxox
