The hardest thing about leaving for 18 months on a mission is leaving the family! It's so nice to have Facetime, Skype and other technologies to help stay in touch. But nothing is quite like seeing them in person!
Dona and kids arrived Oct. 14....Dean was so happy to see us and Ruby kept shouting "Grandpa"!

Ice Cream tastes great even on a cold day!
Our friend's back yard...
We have been sight-seeing...to the Apenhul Monkey park, Giethoorn, Amsterdam and our favorite, Kinderdijk. We have loved having them here! Ruby wasn't talking much when we left but is jabbering non stop now. Dean is more grown up...and they both love riding bikes on our errands! It's been so great to have them share our mission experience in a small way.
Two of my favorite things to do with the kids....make cookies for institute and read books!
