Saying Good-Bye

It was inevitable!
All good things must end!
We had to send Jie back to London!

But we are so glad that she could come for a visit. Hopefully, it doesn't take us 12 years to see her again! Eric is talking about a trip to London.... but we will see.

Eric and I are dressed up because after saying our "good-byes" we were going to go to the temple. Aila had other things in mind, because seconds after this picture was taken she vomited all over Eric's suit. The only article of clothing he had at the house was his swimming suit. We didn't think the temple presidency would let him in the temple... so we stayed home with our little Aila. Poor girl, she does look miserable!

Sister Marjorie Hinckley

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
