The missionaries have returned!!!

Max and Grandpa got to know each other really quickly
The girls were happy to have Grandma back!
The boys were very pleased to be by Grandpa!
Andrew was nose to nose with Grandma most of the night he did not want to let her go!

YEAH! Tonight we got to see my mom and dad. They surprised us by coming home a few days early. We found out they were coming today but didn't tell our kids. We had the kids all in the living room in a family council when Grandma and Grandpa walked in. The kids were thrilled (as was I) to see them. They looked great! The kids were so excited and so wild (lots of screaming and giggling) Andrew never wiped his grin off of his face. Little Max even warmed right up with no hesitation. We are so excited and grateful they are home safe and sound. My dad said it was one of the hardest years but one he would never trade.
WELCOME HOME ELDER AND SISTER LARUE!!!

Cassie, how wonderful to have your folks back...
They look terrific, I swear they have not aged at all since I've seen them! What great examples they were for all of you. I'm sure they were blessed tremendously. Welcome home!
