One Step at a Time: Our Missionaries are HOME!

My dates have been posting weird, so just in case it is wrong...today is June 1st, 2008! Brad's parents got home on May 28th, 2008. (just for journaling purposes) Read on!

"We're so glad that you have come home...glad as we can be! Clap our hands and shout for JOY and climb up on your knee!

Put our arms around your neck, HUG them tight like this...Pat your cheeks and give them what??? A GREAT BIG KISS!!!" primary children's songbook

Our Grandma and Granpa finally came home on the 28th, from serving an 18 month mission in Santiago, Chile. It was so good to see them again!!! We were crazy busy with cleaning their condo and getting their cars ready before, and since they have been home...we have had nothing but late nights and early mornings! We are all so exhausted and tired but having fun along the way and love that they are home safely!

The kids had fun riding on gma and gpa's luggage while all the hugs and kisses were going on! Once they got theirs, they were interested in funner activities! ;)

We have had a busy weekend. From an LATE, LATE night their first night home and then friday we did the Lake for 5 hours and then some of the parents went to the temple, kind of last minute planned. Then saturday we had a bridal shower for brad's sister that is getting married the end of this month. Then we had another...YES ANOTHER...get together with Doug and Keli because they blessed their little baby girl, Abri, today. So we have been jam packed and I think we have used a whole tank of gas in the last three days!

Gma and Gpa have a lot to catch up on, 3 new grandbabies, a new soon-to-be son in law Rick and many changes in the grandkids. So we are lining up the dinners for them and so glad to have them home!

Here are some pics from the lake activities and some of cute Jeric. He is growing so big and strong and SMILEY! We love his presence in our home. Such a sweet spirit! Sorry so long ,just haven't posted in a while.
