The Final Moments...

We took my parents to the airport today. They will fly to LA, Korea, and then Vladivostok, Russia. They will be gone for 18 months, which we're hoping will fly by. I am so proud of them and what they are doing. They are trying to share the best gift they have ever received with others. Their lives were never the same after they joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints thirty-some years ago. I admire their willingness to sacrafice their time and talents and I am so excited for the adventures to come.
Here's a look at some of our last moments today. Don't they look adorable?
This little guy got a few dozen extra hugs.
Grandma gave out a few more tic-tacs, which she is quite known for having on her at all times.
My parents got in a little practicing :)
This little man got to follow "Bahm-pa" around some more.
Can you tell that Coop is in love with this lady. He adores her.
I caught Cam getting in some extra snuggles while watching "Cars."
You will be more than missed, Mom and Dad. We love you so much!

I'm proud of them too! I'm soooo glad that they joined the church & for all the good decisions they made. They have so much positive to show for it. The people in Russia are blessed to have them for the next 18 months! Good luck Magills!!

AAAWWWWWW! Cut my heart out and stomp on it why don't you! We were left with a stash of lifesavers for our kids to have since she wouldn't be here to hand them out herself. They look so excited and ready. I can't wait to hear all the details. I'm still a little jealous that you guys got so much extra time. (sniff sniff) I sure hope this is the quickest 18 months of our lives.
