....to grandmother's house we go!!!!

Dear Fam - thanks for being so patient while I annoyed and interrupted many conversations with my "picture taking" on Christmas day ~~ just think of it as a gift to Miss - she'll be so happy to see your smiling faces. It was wonderful that so many of you were able to make it over to Mom/Dad's at some point during the day. Of course, we miss being able to put our arms around Cal and Russ and always feel incomplete without them. Things aren't quite right without Gale and Wes either. Reporting that I visited with the Mickelson's on my way to Idaho and from everything I saw, they had a great Christmas! Looking forward to the New Year with all of you, fresh with new opportunities and possibilities. Love - Jan.

He's Arrived!!

The above photo was taken on December 21, 2009. Nate had an appointment at the MTC to visit with Sean before he left the next day for Latvia. They had a really nice visit!

Just got this photo from President Dance of the Baltic Mission. Apparently, Sean arrived safe and healthy, and from the look on his face ---- happy!!

He's Back!

Hey everyone! Nate made it home the night of the 17th --- or was it morning? Not sure, but it was somewhere in between. Thanks to all for your hopes and prayers for a safe and speedy journey to us, without them he might still be in Atlanta! *laughing*

Don't forget ~ his report is on the 27th of December at 0900. We'd love for you all to come and stop by the house for a bite after Sacrament Meeting if you can ♥

Hugs to all ~~ Char
