Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma and Grandpa Walker are coming home on Monday!

They have been serving in the Australia Brisbane mission for the last year and a half, and we are so excited to see them! We took everyone down to their house this afternoon to clean up and get things ready for their arrival. It was fun to be there again, but after a little while the kids started asking, "Can we come back when Grandma and Grandpa are here?" It's not quite the same without them.

Tim will not, unfortunately, be able to go to the airport to see them come home- he has his hardest statistics class on Monday, and he's afraid if he misses it once he might never catch up. Instead, the kids and I will go up (along with Tim's brothers and sisters) to greet them. Tim will see them as soon as he can- I know he has really missed them.

It will be nice to have them back... and we'll be way closer than we ever have been- only an hour (instead of the four hours we're used to). I am so blessed to have these wonderful people as my in-laws. They are kind, patient, generous, and loving, and they are wonderful grandparents. We are so grateful to have them in our lives!
