Farewells and family

Mike and I talked in church on Sunday, Sept. 22nd [ I'm told that is something we need to get used to doing], so as a result, some of the family converged on our house for one last time before we head off into the unknown.  May I say, it was Mahvelous! No, I'm not talking about our talks in church, I am talking about hanging with the kiddies and siblings.  Toys, food, kids, food, talking, food, laughing, food, games, food.  Just an all out fun time, with just a little sleep thrown in here and there.  Thanks to all who came to make it a special time for us!  We love you all!  Here are a few random shots.

    1. Sara, we'll be in Provo for about a week and a half, so should be able to see you plenty. We will be staying with Nick since they said we don't have to stay at the MTC. :)
