Changes

We finally did it...we said goodbye to my parents as they entered the MTC. Even though you prepare for these changes, for some reason, it still doesn't make it any easier. We are excited for them to embark on such an adventure but will miss them so much. We will get to see them one more time before they fly out so we are looking forward to that. I am keeping a blog for them while they are serving so if you are curious as to how they are doing, you can click on their picture to the right and it will take you to their blog.
Other changes that are hard to get used to is seeing how fast our Emma bug is growing! She is soooooo much fun! We can't get enough of her smiles, cooing, and her likes of being cuddled. We are so incredibly busy but love being a little family of 4. Caleb is such an awesome big brother and kisses his sister every chance he gets. I love seeing the two of them together.

Emma is getting to be quite the smiler, she is so stinken fun!

Two weeks ago, my family had an early Thanksgiving/Christmas party. Here is a picture of all the grand kids. Ok...so Caleb would not stop screaming! He did not want his picture taken. So, in all the pictures he was crying and I decided to photo shop his head...just for fun. Don't look too close but he actually wasn't happy at all despite what this picture tells. I took his head off a birthday picture from last summer and put it over the one in this picture. Ha...love photo shop.

The night my parents got set apart. This was just before we said goodbye to each other.
Changes are good, just hard at times. I've never been one to easily adapt to them. Over the next year and a half, I'm excited to meet the people my parents get to serve with and to enjoy this journey with them. We are so incredibly blessed and am lucky to have such an amazing husband and kids.
