September 12, 2010 Andrew's Report and Open House

(This is entry has been delayed a few weeks. I just wanted to note, that I had the best intentions of taking photos of everyone that attended the open house, but remembered too late and ended too soon as things got busy and as we were visiting with people, my apologies to those I missed, hopefully I will be able to remember all of the families that came.)

On the way to Church. It begins at 8 am so we had a very early morning.

Andrew did a nice job on his talk, and we enjoyed seeing so many friends and family members.

My sister Ruth and her sweet granddaughter Jaycee.

It was so great having so many family members and friends stop by. I wish we could have visited more with everyone, but we really enjoyed the afternoon. A special thanks to Sandie Brummett for creating an amazing video of Andrew's mission pictures for us. It was fun to be able to share those with everyone. It's days like these that you are reminded how blessed you are to have so many wonderful people in your life and that if just wouldn't be the same without them.
