A special day!

Today, January 21st, 2009, was a special day because David's step son (Kathy's son)Jordan Ritter went into the MTC. Here are pictures of Nicia, Justin, and Dave and Kathy with their missionary. Gary and I were privileged to be there, and so was Andrew, and Nicia's 18 month old Alyssa, but we didn't get pictures of the rest of us. I'm sure there were some on Dave's camera. Maybe Kathy will e-mail me some of all of us and I will post them then. Jordan is Kathy's youngest child (her baby boy grown up!), and so it was hard for her to have him leave, but she is a trooper and pulled it off beautifully! We all shed some tears because we will miss Jordan, but they were happy tears because there is no place we would rather have him be than in the Missionary Training Center and no calling we would rather have him answer to than a call from the Lord to share the gospel with the people in Mexico.

Grandma, you are simply amazing! I was so impressed at how easy it was to teach you how to blog. I only had to show you once and you got it.
I couldn't think of a better title for your blog. It seems to be the perfect compliment to the thing you love and do most often in your life (ex: visiting family) while doing something you enjoy doing for YOU (blogging, pictures, etc.) So glad I was able to come over, visit, and spend some wonderful time with you and Grandpa. Love you!
