Welcome home Elder Kimball

I just wanted to welcome home Elder Joshua Kimball home after a very long and rewarding 2 years of serving a mission in the Independance Missouri Mission. Jarom was two and Rachel was 9 months when he left and we didn't have Emily. He has returned home to 3 new nieces and everyone a lot older. Josh has also changed very much. Josh not only grew taller, but is more serious and spiritual, and his voice has become a little more deep. I am so proud of him and it will get a little used to him being at home. Mom and Papa, Weiss', Howells and Ashes were the only ones who met him at the airport. I have never known Papa to be more proud of Josh then he is of his service. WELCOME HOME JOSHUA!!! I thought I had more pictures, but my batteries died on my camera. Sorry I couldn't put more up Josh.

Christmas 2007

I know, it is January and I am just putting up our Christmas. I have been very bad with keeping my blog updated, so here it finally is. This was Emily's first Christmas and it was a lot of fun. It is nice to be around family for the Holidays. Andrea and Don drove down from Lawrence to be with family this year and the kids just had a blast with them. Santa brought Jarom an Omnitrix (Ben10 watch) for all of you who know what ben10 is. It was the only thing that Jarom asked for this year. He is still upset with Grandaddy for teasing him about eating it. Rachel got a princess scooter from grammy and Grandaddy, that was what she really wanted, until she saw Jarom's omnitrix. Now she wants one too. We had a good year this year and now look forward to the cruise with everyone.
