and they're off!

Not very much "stuff" for the next 18 months. 

The kids very willingly woke up at 4 something in the morning to get to send off some of their favorite people in the whole world to somewhere a whole world away for them-

for what will seem like a whole lifetime away before they can climb back into their laps again.

They are so proud of their grandparents;
showing everyone who stops by the picture of "our missionary grandparents".

We are so blessed. I am so blessed.

 

Setting apart

Now set apart- selected and consecrated for a holy purpose.

 

 

 

Bittersweets days for us all.

Earning an ice cream reward- when they were 50 cents they taksed a little better.
