I think every good parent does truly want their children to grow up :-) But this year went by way too fast! :-) I've been looking forward to 2017 for a long time. It was the year that Mason would come home from his mission, we would have our last baby, and for a little while everybody would be under the same roof (again ;-)
Well tonight changes all that. Jonah has been set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Tomorrow morning Jason and Mason are driving Jonah to the missionary training center. There he will stay for 3 long months, learning mandarin, before going to Taiwan to teach people the good news. The news that Jesus is the Christ our Savior. That He died so that we may live and be with loved ones again.
Tomorrow morning Jonah goes on his mission and Mason is moving out as well. Suddenly, we are down two. It's happy, bc they are good boys doing good things. And it's sad. It's the end of an era.
Sophia has been doing fantastically well since Jonah's farewell on Sunday :-) I think she's doing it for him so he doesn't worry :-)
Christmas last night...
(Sarah and I fixed our tree for y'all that saw it before... haha)
Opening presents...
Sophia's present to everyone ;-) the boys are printed on 8 by 10 sheets of metal and the girls are printed on wood :-) (Mason took his home before I got a picture ;-)
Found this on the tree...
