Homecoming

Jordan and Jeanette spoke in church today.
Afterwards we met in our back yard for visiting and eating.



It's good to share these occasions with family...




...and good friends...




...and good eaters!

What a fun week we've had. Thanks for all your well wishes!

    Yes, so good to have everyone home again! Can't wait to see the family pictures that were taken on Saturday. Definitely will be original - where some families have their dogs in the pics, we had deer.

    Wow!! I bet that was one terrific sacrament meeting - two returned missionaries AND from the same family. How often does that really happen.... I guess it might happen with twins *wink..

    Were there a few tears? I love the family and friends get togethers. Such a wonderful "return with honor" moment.

    I love the cake!

    What a GREAT day that must have been. Seriously, could a mother be more proud?????? It looks as though you were all able to relax and enjoy yourself throughout the afternoon to.
    Have a great day.

    What a wonderful day you had. I'm certain a good time was had by all. Also quite emotional.
    Welcome home to two good and faithful servants. You are a lucky MOM.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm loving reading a bit about you.:)

    How wonderful!!! It makes my heart happy to see your kids back home!! How are they doing? It must be a little strange to adjust back to life away from the mission. So awesome!!!:-) Take care!
