Our Journey to Loma Linda!: 2010

I (Tami) am hijacking Sue's blog so that she doesn't have to figure out how to post the hundreds of pictures we took when they returned home! I know that Bob and Sue will miss the Jerusalem Center, and all of the staff and students--they truly loved each and every one of you! The stories we have heard are beautiful and amazing, and we are so grateful for you all who took care of them, and loved them when we weren't there to do it! They are truly amazing parents & we are happy to have them back! Here was my post & pics:
On Friday we went to the airport to welcome Bob and Sue HOME! We have missed these guys SO much! 18 months was a long time to have them gone--Jack was barely 6 months old when they left! We were all SO excited! Imagine how the security guards LOVED our huge group at the airport. With 36 children in tow--all under age 15 we were quite the scene! The security people were freaking out while we were waiting for them to come off the plane since the kids were all standing right by the DO NOT ENTER sign. It was actually pretty funny to watch them. When we finally saw Bob and Sue, it was a loud, crazy, melee of people trying to get to them to get a hug. We were all overcome with emotion & there were some tears shed. I am so grateful to have them home--it's not the same here without them. I am grateful to have such a wonderful family, and for their example and their faith. They are truly amazing, and have such an amazing love for their family, and for their Savior. Welcome Home Grandma and Grandpa! We missed you SO much!
Here are some of the MANY pictures I took on Friday:

After the airport we went to the park and had Barro's Pizza--which Grandma had requested! There's no better pizza than Barro's Pizza here in the valley! LOVE IT! Thanks for a great afternoon! We had a blast!
