Homecoming

After three LONG years, my parents finally returned from their mission in Uganda. The whole family was able to be in San Diego for their return, which was as thrilling as you can imagine. The kids are wearing crested crane hats in Grandma's honor- her favorite bird in Africa (although, her shoebill sighting was probably more memorable for her. But go ahead and google a picture of the shoebill, and you'll know why we made crested crane hats!) Words can't describe how happy we are to have them home again, though we all felt very blessed as they served. There were 4 new grandkids they had never met: Norah (Chad and Stacey), Luke and Lily (James and Amanda), and Lilah (Mike and Camille). Also a handful that were babies when they left. Airports are too stressful for Ammon, so my parents went to visit him Sunday.

Leah,
It's so fun to see all your family! I wish I had a chance to see you and say hi on the 4th of July sunday. I was at that sacrament meeting and I saw you sitting with your family, but we had to leave with our family before I could say hi! I can't believe it's been three years and your parents are back already! Times realy flies!
