Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Our Elder Grondel has arrived safely home. We had a great day picking him up from the Airport and getting him settled in. We are so happy that he has returned from his mission. I can tell that he was a great missionary, by the way he acts. I appreciate all those sweet Minnesota Saints that cared for him. Friday, April 9, 2010. We totally love him so much already. Tuesday, March 23, 2010.

Monday, January 30, 2012. He is feeling so much better. He finally was able to eat. But I think he is done with this place. I kinda am too! There is no doubt that this kid is loved. He has had all sorts of visitors, a huge sign from all the primary kids was delivered, gifts, and treats. We have played Legos, Lincoln logs, watched movies, UNO, puzzles, colored, battleship, jenga, and took walks around the halls. Sunday, January 29, 2012. I know Carson has felt loved! This was what .

Friday, December 9, 2011. Ava turned six on December 1st. She had a busy but fun birthday. As you can see from the pictures she is still very in love with princess and pink. We love you Ava, Happy Birthday. For Halloween this year we had spider man, a mummy, Rapunzel and a nerd. The kids had a great time at the ward trunk or treat and then trick or treating. They even braved the rain. As you can see from the huge smile, Benson is very into Spider man right now.

Saturday, December 31, 2011. 12 Days of service Continued. This month has been to fastest month ever! Why does December have to go so fast. I am so lucky that I decided to do 12 random days of service, had I not done that, I think I would have let the season go by without even thinking of others. She gave me freeze dried sausage, made some Lasagna with it. sooo good! My family loved it, so it was even better.
