Cameron's Mission Homecoming - December 16, 2023

 To return home honorably and to have served the Lord for two years is a great accomplishment for anyone; even more for our first grandson and first grandchild missionary - Cameron Paschal.  He served a Spanish speaking mission in the state of Georgia (Georgia Atlanta North).  The first person with the hug was his mother, Adrian, she deserves that hug.

The dad, Todd, was next.  Then the brother, Taylor.  What great brothers

Here are some snapshots of his homecoming reunion at the airport and his first night home.  We were so grateful that we could see this wonderful young man who was glowing with the light of the gospel.  His homecoming talk the next day made all of us burst with pride -- the good pride.

Cameron overcame some difficulties to get to this point, but when he puts his mind, heart, and soul into something, something wonderful happens and this was the culmination of all that effort.

Cameron's former mission president was there to meet him and gave the family a full report on how effective and full of the spirit Cameron was as a missionary.

Then, life begins.  As Cameron tells us of some mission experiences, brother Taylor, has listened for long enough.  You know, the suitcase remains packed because he and Taylor are on their way to Rexburg, Idaho, to attend BYU Idaho.

Welcome home Cameron.

The Grandchildren Perform (November and December 2024)

Our Ali, what a wonderful young lady and a terrific performer!  This was the last play we attended this year - Shriek.  Ali played Fiona.  She can sing, she can dance, she can act, she is the total package when it comes to the stage.  Thank you for your enthusiasm and performances this year.

Tyce performed and is learning to jump rope.  These are important big muscle skills and we are so proud of Tyce for his ability to stick with hard things.  Brittney works with him on these muscle development skills.

Kacy, is our princess.

Jesse was acting crazy one day with Adrian's costume container.  Just clowning around.

Lala the hippie queen can pose and make the greatest impressions.

Brookie gave a wonderful dance review.  A little orphan and some cabaret.

We love how these grandchildren are learning new skills, how to perform in front of an audience, and joyfully participating in life.
