She's back!!

My mom returned a few weeks ago after serving an LDS Mission in Philadelphia, PA. The past year went extremely fast and we are excited to have her back with us. The day she was to arrive home the kids and I went over to her house before school and decorated it a little to welcome her home. Ethan and I went to the airport later on to pick her up. It was so great to see her again! Ethan warmed up to her immediately and it was as though she had never left. I had Andy check the kids out of school a little early and they were waiting in her driveway to surprise her as we pulled in. The kids were SO anxious to see her--it was a great surprise!! We are so glad that Grandma is back near us, but so grateful for the wonderful example she set for all of us. She served the people of Philadelphia so selflessly and I am sure she is greatly missed there!
