August 22 -23, 2009 - A Farewell Weekend Surprise!
Early Saturday morning we got a surprise.... Uncle Todd, Uncle Kevin, and cousins, Nick, Zach and Noah had driven 13 hours ALL THE WAY FROM ARIZONA!!!
...Just so they could be here for the Open House and Farewell and to give last hugs and goodbyes!
We spent most of Saturday preparing for the Open House and were happy that so many kind friends came to wish the Elders good luck and Goodbye.
Sunday was a special day. Brendon and Connor spoke in church and their sister sang a beautiful solo arrangement of "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" accompanied by piano and cello. It was a very heartfelt piece and touched everyone in attendance.

Then later Sunday, after the boys from AZ departed, we had a big family dinner with all of our family that live here close by. It was a very special day!
