Today is the Day!

It has been 18 months and grandma and grandpa are coming home TODAY! we are so excited.  Madison told me that it is like a million Christmas' all in one day, and she is exactly right.  The kids made a countdown chain a few weeks ago with a picture of them at the top.  The kids each take their turn to rip off a link.  It has been so fun to see it get shorter and shorter.  Having my parents on a mission has been a wonderful experience for all of us.  I know our family has learned and grown so much since they have been gone.  We have been so blessed because of their willingness to serve.  I am excited to talk to them and hug them and have them live close to us again.  But I am most excited for them to meet our sweet little Allie.  In the 18 months since they left 5 new grandchildren have been born for a total of 20.  It is such an exciting day and we can't wait to see them!
