One Last Post: Goin' Home

Waiting in Seoul, Korea. We passed time  by working on our e-mails.




Arriving in Los Angeles, we were greeted by Scott's brother Craig whose wife made each of us a snack lei.  We had a short visit and then flew on home. We landed in SLC Sunday afternoon about 4:30 p.m.


Our daughter Jenny, her husband Jared and their youngest, Jacob (Jake).

Daughter Kali and Taylor, Maren and Brooke, niece Casey and daughter Varci.

Our dear mothers who wondered if they would make it until we got home. They did!  In Wheelchairs, but they were there!

Our daughter Varci and her new husband Kevin Figuerres.

Our son, Benjamin, his wife Hollly, Conner, Brunson and Aubrey.  They are living in our basement for a little while longer until they get into a home.

Kali and Taylor again, this time with their first daughter, Kenzi.

Kaylee wants a separate picture.  She is our daughter Polly's first child.
Scott's cousin Jerry, for whom we have a guardianship, was there to greet us too. He was really glad we were back.

Daughter Polly and husband Jordan (who is  having his first novel published November 25th!) and Kaylee and Conner.  Polly just had her third child, a boy named Ethan on October 2nd. We got home on the lst day of July!

Our youngest son David and his Wife Camille and Brantley.  Braylee is in the womb, but arrived soon thereafter.

My sister Jill came in from Washington state to greet us and make sure my Mom made it to the airport.

Our three oldest grandchildren who weren't in the picture with their Mom and Dad, Jenny and Jared.  Their names are Amelia, Esther and Issac.  By now my hair had had it and we were fairly  tired but happy.

We had a special FHE that evening that our kids put together on Service. They each wrote us a letter telling how our service influenced them and Kali had arranged for all to get new T shirts for our family trip to Bear Lake the next couple of days. They said, Valiant in Service.  So, we were greeted warmly and lovingly and appreciatively. We could not have served without our wonderful family. How we love them and thank them for all they did on the home front.  Thank you all!
