Jam Session!

One of the things my boys have always loved doing with their Dad.

 The boys were playing while Darren was gone and this is what I found after I heard him come home.

 I believe this is the first time I have seen him play in a suit;)

Can you see me in this one?

We love having Nick back Home!

He's Home!

Nicholas competed a two year mission in the Oregon Portland Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. We picked him up at the Charleston SC airport last night at 9:40. We then went straight to the church where he met with President Reeser who released him as a Missionary. We celebrated his homecoming and birthday by eating a piece of Ice Cream cake. 

Welcome Home Nick!

 Today we did some badly needed shopping and then met Ben downtown and ate lunch at the

 King Street Grill. Burgers are half price on Wed!
