Big News!..a few weeks late

It's been so long since my last post that I'm not sure where to begin! The big news is that Jonah's home! We picked him up from the airport about three weeks ago and we've been busy since then...good busy. It's wonderful to have him home and to have our family together again.

This past year was difficult and went by very slowly for our family but we had many ups along with our downs. On my end, the kids and I have been surrounded by family and friends who have been so caring and supportive.

I'm grateful for the great ward and Relief Society that we're part of. From yard work to meals to babysitting, our ward has been incredibly helpful. I've been overwhelmed by the love we've been shown and by the many acts of kindness we've received. And I've had fantastic visiting teachers!

I'm grateful for my family. It has meant so much to me that my kids have had loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins nearby while their dad was away. We love you guys.

Thanks to all of you whose thoughts and prayers were with Jonah and our family this past year. And thank you for the phone calls, encouraging words, and desserts that made this past year easier.
