Okay so after many comments from friends and family and even my own children I am finally going to post. I wish I could be better like others and post more often....Lets make that a goal. So get ready this is going to be a long one....
Well Greg finally returned home on the 6Th of February. He flew right into Mildenhall base. We had big colorful signs and lots of balloons. The kids were so excited. He flew in at night and this night was extremely foggy. on the way home from the base Greg told us that as they were approaching the pilot was worried they would have to turn back and go to Germany because he could not see the runway. After two approaches they finally landed. I am so grateful for that. Well Greg got home on a Thursday night and we enjoyed a long awaited weekend. The following Tuesday I was having some kidney pain. I went into the ER that night. For the next four weeks or so I was in and out of the hospital on base and in Cambridge for kidney stones. I am so grateful that this did not happen until Greg returned home because even though I have great friends here to help me it was wonderful for the kids to have their dad. Greg's work was wonderful to give him a good amount of time off.
On February 28Th Our family was sealed in the London Temple. My mom was able to travel from Las Vegas to be with us. We also had some very close Friends from Germany come over to celebrate with us. We were supported by many families in our ward. It was a day I will never forget and even now as I think of it tears come to my eyes.
Kaleb was baptized by his dad last month. It was so amazing to see my second son enter the waters of baptism with his dad. He was so proud. My kids are growing so fast before I know it I will be sending them off on missions.....please let the time until then go slow
Greg is back to work and kids are all back to school after a nice relaxing Spring Break. Our Easter was quiet and uneventful. I am still struggling with my health. The doctors are frustrated not being able to figure out why I am producing mass amounts of stones, but they are trying to keep me monitored and comfortable. I have such an amazing husband and kids that help me out so much.
We are supposed to be leaving England in July. We don not know where we are going yet. We are just waiting to find out if Greg has been accepted to a program with in the Air Force. We are looking forward to coming home to Las Vegas this summer to be with friends and family. Enjoy the following photos of our Easter Kids
