Yesterday afternoon my parents returned from serving as mission presidents in Calgary, Canada. After having them gone for the last 3 years, 3 months, and 2 days we sure are glad they are home again! And as all return missionaries are, they are a little "weird" and not quite to a "normal" way of life. But that's to be expected after 24/7 mission stuff for that long. We had made arrangements for their home to be painted and the carpet to be redone (per their request and they are paying for it--we're not that good). All of this done in a few weeks time which meant that it was right up to the time they were getting home. So yesterday morning as they were getting into Utah, the painters were finishing up at the house. So that meant that the paint was still drying last night as we were all gathered together at their home with the welcome sign and all. It didn't matter we were all happy to be back together anyway. Even though the rainy overcast caused the picnic plan to be put on the porch and then moved to the garage for visiting. Nothin says lovin like a family willing to gather in a semi finished garage full of lawn and garden equipment. Luckily, Darin (my brother) and I had cleaned the garage out really really good just two days before. Anyway, that's why the pictures are all in the garage.
All I can say is the for me, their favorite child (hehehehe), i am happy to have them home and look forward to having time with them again. Welcome Home Mom and Dad!

I bet it's great to have them home again. :)
I guess you figured that since it has been 6 months, 4 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes since I was last on here you could get away with your "favorite child" comment. I should have known better than to leave you unattended......very disapointed....very disapointed. LOL!
