Weekend with the kids

We have had the kids home this week.

Look at this little guy,

he is growing!

A friend gave me some wolf em sticks.

I do not claim to be an expert, 

but they turned out to be a hit.

We are so thankful for Katelyn

because she figured out how to use them.

We had a nice evening of visiting and eating.

They taste good too.

You kinda have to shove them in your mouth.

thus the title wolf em

Here is a perfect one.

Fast forward a few days.

Richard is ready to enter the MTC in Provo Utah.

The traditional picture with the parents.

The not so traditional picture with his two cute nephews.

I love this picture.

And he is off.

I will not lie,

It is the hardest thing in the world

for a mom to see her son off for 2 years.

But it is easier with each one.

He gets to call home on Christmas and Mothers Day, 

for a total of 4 phone calls.

It is how I count down.

6 months until the first phone call.

In the mean-time,

there will be an e-mail once a week.

We will post them here.

Please feel free to check up on the boy.

And oh yeah, and prayers are much appreciated.
