Greg's Homecoming and Taylor's Farewell


With Greg coming home on January 26th and Taylor leaving March 3rd we asked if we could do a combined homecoming/farewell for them. We knew it would be impossible for family members to attend two seperate events within weeks. So they let us have them both speak and combine the events. It was a beautiful day and the spirit was so strong in the meeting as each of them bore testimony of the power of prayer and the knowledge that their Heavenly Father and Jesus knows and loves each one of us. I was so proud of the way they have grown up and the men they are. Taylor can hardly wait to get on his mission.

I just had to throw in a picture of my beautiful granddaughters. We have had fun having them in the house and getting plenty of hugs and kisses.

All of our family but two sisters were able to make it out. I'm so thankful for their love and support. I counted over 110 people who made the effort to com and hear the boys speak. After the meeting we had everyone over for lunch. It was crazy and people were sitting anywhere they could find a spot.
It's been fun having Greg home and his friends back in our house.
I'm not sure how this started, I was probably taking a well deserved Sunday nap, but Sunday afternoon will often find the older three trying to hold Taylor down.

This started years ago when they were young and it still continues.
I guess we will see what happens when Taylor returns from his mission. It was a wonderful day and our friends and family made it even more special.

You must be very proud of them. Wish it had been on a different day so we could have come, but looks like you had plenty!
