Andrew's parents came home from their mission to Bolivia on April 11th
we were pretty excited on the drive up to the airport
their plane was supposed to come in from Dallas-FtWorth at 11:00 PM
but it got delayed several times
they ended up getting there around 12:30 AM on Friday April 12th
This a group shot of those of us who went to the airport and our signs
Gerald was there...you can see a peek-a-boo of his head behind Makayla
and Kevin and Heidi came after this shot was taken
Conner and Makayla entertained Stella with Ring Around the Rosies
Right when they got off the plane!
Lots of hugs and tears from Grandpa and Grandma
After a fun reunion at the airport and gathering their luggage
We all headed home.
Stella never fell asleep.
Not on the drive up to the airport,
not while we sat in Darren and Jen's car watching a moving waiting for the delayed plane,
not in the airport,
and
NOT on the drive home!
We rolled in at 2 AM and Stella fell asleep one block before our house.
I tell ya, this girl does not need sleep.
We are incredibly happy to have Grandpa and Grandma home!
We are so grateful for their wonderful example.
We know that we received many blessings because of their service
Their mission was tough and so was being away from their family
but they are pretty awesome to do it all.
It definitely shows what is most important.
They both gave great homecoming talks this past Sunday.
Our testimonies have been strengthened by theirs.
Welcome Home!!

Wish we could've been there- glad you posted pics of this!
Fun times! Reminded me of when Grandpa and Grandma came home. Unfortunately I only have one picture of that event. Stella must be related to Nicole. She never has been a sleeper either and the more I tried to get her to go to bed the more she fought it.
My baby doesn't need much sleep either. I laugh that Gerald and Mindy both avoided the group picture. So fun to have them back home! I still remember when he coached one of our practices because I was terrified of him killing me off haha
