We went to Riley Robertson's missionary homecoming. It was a little different because she was one of 5 young adults that were speaking. She did a wonderful job. Sam got complimented on his wonderful singing voice again. Jer had to be over the technical side of the training for the new youth program in our ward, so he wasn't able to come. The Hansen's couldn't come (maybe because of Walter's current sickness... he was having seizures not long ago from a cold he caught somewhere. This is why they say he can't get sick. No fun.) And Judy's immune system still isn't ready for crowds, so we were there by ourselves. The kids all loved it though. They got to see the Wards. They love the Ward family very much, but we haven't seen them much since GGma died. Their son got hit by a truck the Friday before, but luckily he only broke his foot and nothing else. You can tell that our kids are going through Robertson family withdrawal. Ada hung on Riley's every word, Sam hugged Alan and didn't want to let go (Alan wasn't sure where to go with that), and when I asked kids if they were ready to leave after an hour they all begged to stay a little while longer. They said that it felt nice to be with family. I loved that so much. It's very true.
Seth didn't want me to help him get dressed. He picked out his clothes and dressed himself... both of which are unusual occurrences. I love it though because he now looks like a little professor.
This sweet woman, who was always sweet, has matured beautifully. She's on her way to BYU to study a branch of Biology. She was able to get her required classes before her mission, so she's excited to jump right into her field. Tanner, her brother, is currently serving his mission in Australia, which is one more reason that we fasted and prayed for them this last Sunday as the country burns.
