Home Again!

We're home again! Before we left for Germany Ed and Crystal had made a welcome home sign for Amanda, which our neighbor, Janet put up for us on Tuesday! Janet even did one better by putting a fresh bouquet of flowers and some garden vegetables on our porch! That was a nice welcome.

We didn't get home till 11 p.m., which meant we had been up for 26 hours straight! We had some problems with our flights, which meant a three hour delay in arriving home! We spent yesterday trying to work off the tiredness.

We waited till morning to pick up Coda--as it was past Lenny's bedtime when we got home. Lenny had bought Coda the cutest little Raven's Jersey for her birthday! She even seems to like it! Amanda was happy to see Coda again, as we all were. At noon we went to see the stake president and Amanda was released from her mission. It was a bit nostalgic for me, as since the day they were born one of my greatest wishes for my three daughters would be that they could serve missions. It is like a dream fulfilled for me. Now we can start working on the next step of my dream for them...
