Farewell To Madison!

We came home from Pio Pico early Saturday afternoon, unloaded the RV, showered, and took off to our friends open house in Claremont. Madison has been such a special part of our family since the quads came home from the hospital.  She and her family have welcomed us into their family. I don't know what we would have done without them, definitely not survived the early quad years!

Madison is going to serve a mission for our church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  She will be in Quito Ecuador for 18 months serving and teaching the people there about our church.  The only contact she can have with family or friends is via email or regular mail. Her family will keep everyone updated via her blog at 18 Months in Ecuador.

At the open house we saw one of our old friends, Carrie. She entertained the kids for most of the time we were there.
