Grandma's send off

 My mom was recently called to serve a full time mission  for our church, serving in the Church history and family history mission. She will be helping those who come to Salt Lake City to research their genealogy, as well as learn more about the history of the church. She will serve for 18 months.

18 months without Grandma!!!!! How will we survive????? But we're really happy that she is doing this, and the great example that she is setting for her children and grandchildren.

We took her to the airport last week to send her off to Salt Lake, and had a little bit of extra time before she had to go through security. As expected, there was a lot of whining and fighting, especially over who got to pull the suitcase. But we sent her off, and I think that she was still sad to see us go despite the crazy she was leaving behind!:)

We got a few pictures. Olivia was not at all interested in a group shot.

 Nate and Grandma.

 Graham sitting on the coveted suitcase.

 Graham and Grandma. (both kind of making funny faces.)

 Liv is finally smiley! And the kind of sad thing is that Olivia has just started to say "Grandma" in the past few weeks.

We'll miss you Grandma, and are so glad that we can email and call you as often as we want!!!
