TallyHo!

 

Hey! I know-- let's have everyone line up and we'll see how heights change while she's gone.

And then these.  They were just for fun.  And they all understood the assignment.

3-2-1- POSE

A personal favorite

What special children!

I suppose we needed to keep things a little lighter before the goodbyes.  

In our Facebook Messenger chat, she calls us Dearest Momsie and Popsicle (from Wicked).

I adore this picture!  This is what is REAL!  They are very different and I appreciate how they try to be kind and understanding of each other.  Time and distance will make their hearts grow fonder. Also, not having to share a bedroom will make their hearts grow fonder:)

This separation is going to hurt them both.

Greta's pose is killing me.

Then we moved up to the field across from the temple.  We planned a meet-up with Sister Gordon's family-- Bethany's MTC companion.  The great thing about home MTC is that they already knew each other and were so excited to meet in person.

She is from Pleasant Grove.

Abe wore his cowboy boots for the occasion.

We're missing Greta-- but even so, we've got this family selfie thing down!

The final family pic in the drop-off parking lot. (how many final family pics do we need???) Greta's pose. Oh, and cool thing-- you see the big black van behind ours?  It was Shawn Bradley and his family.

Look, we're all still smiles... but the tears are about to flow.

This was the moment that really got me.  These two are tight and this one stung.

So happy for my girl and it is so good for her to go.  But she will be missed. Sister Fox's final words in-person to us -- 

TALLY-HO!
