Recap of the things we missed out on while Mom and Dad were living it up in beautiful Alaska:
Alaskan glacial tours
Alaskan wildlife
How would you like to wake up with this thing eating outside your window???
And much much more , not to mention the wonderful people they got to know and teach and came to love so much . . .
Now we'd like to say:
You now have 5 new grandchildren to get to know. The rest have only grown taller and smarter and more beautiful while you've been away. We are so proud of you for the service you have given and the love you have shown those you have met. The blessings that have come to not just you guys, but to the rest of the family have been so tremendous, and I'm sure those blessings will continue to come. Well done, thou good and faithful servants.



6 now let's hear it from you:
AWE! So glad they are home with all of you getting to know their new sweet grand babies!
What a great way to put it all into perspective!
I think I missed a few things too.
Can't wait to see you all.
It helped to see the things I didn't miss, but I sure hate missing being there for their homecoming! :-( Great post, though, Sharon! Thanks! :-)
It is amazing how much can happen in two years, but I believe that your family has been greatly blessed because of their service.
Wow, I forgot about that knockdown, dragout, black eyes and bloody nose fight between Bonnie and me. Now that you have refreshed my memory, I remember that I still haven't forgiven her. I hope you all can bear with the silent treatment between us when I am there. Never mind, I think I can get over it and let bygones be bygones. Since I whooped her butt, there is no reason for any hard feelings. Love you Bon...
Yeah you might have whooped me then, but my fist sure looks cuter than yours. AND...I am stronger now...AND my leg doesn't hurt anymore, so I will be wanting that leg wrestle now...
