Grandpa & Grandma Jenks Return

My parents finished their one-year mission in Chicago, IL, this past week and stopped in on their way back to Washington. We've been anticipating this day for a long time and were thrilled to see them. They enjoyed their time in Chicago serving in the mission office and as the fleet manager (over the cars) and probably had more fun than they imaged they would. Their favorite part was spending time with the missionaries. Our nephew, Daniel, was called to serve in the same mission as them so when he arrived my mom was one of the first to see him and introduce him to his new home.


It wouldn't be a complete visit without going to dinner. That's what we do best. Our children are pretty well behaved in restaurants because we go out all too often.

Boston wanted grandpa to try on his helmet. My dad said he felt like one of those lineman who's head was too small for his body. I think the helmet was a little uncomfortable. Boston sure enjoyed his one-on-one time going to the park and playing catch with grandpa. The boys went shopping to Walmart with grandma to use their gift cards and Kennedy went to the mall with grandma to buy a "professional" outfit. She's mature beyond her years. As I was fixing Kennedy's hair this morning for school she said she didn't want them to leave. We never want them to leave. They put us at ease and bring reason to every situation. They've been there and survived and we will too. I'm glad they're enjoying the season of life they are in.

We are looking forward to summer vacation with our invasion to the farm and spending quality time with family. We love you! Thanks for coming to see us.
