They're Back!

Last Thursday we all gathered at the airport to welcome my parents home. For the last 18 months they have been serving an LDS mission in Kazakhstan as the director of Welfare Services.
Waiting for Grandma & Grandpa's plane to arrive.
Dad enjoyed a cold Fresca after 18 months without his favorite soda.

After giving Taryn a big hug, mom had to take a look at her scar since they were gone when she had surgery. Thank goodness for Skype. Taryn was only six months old when they left but she knew her grandparents and even gave them hugs since she was able to talk to and see them at least once a week!

Grandma & Grandpa Nicholas were so excited to see Mom again. Grandpa really missed her.

Mom and Dad are amazing examples to our family. They have sacrificed to serve others and I am so proud of them and glad to have them home...at least until their next mission!
