Goodbye Alec!

It has been almost a week since Alec left for his mission. I would have posted sooner, but we stayed in Queen Creek with Michael and Sarah until Sunday. We left for the airport at about 5:00 am on Wed. Nov. 10th. His flight was at 7:40. He was so excited. You can see how happy he looks. Rich and I held it together until he was gone, but I have to say it is really tough to send your last child out into the world. I wouldn't have it any other way. He and Sean are exactly where they are supposed to be right now and we are so proud of both of them for preparing for this time. I can't wait to hear about Sean and Alec's reunion as Sean is still at the MTC. I know it will be wonderful as they are so close. Sean has been there since Sept. 15th and is doing really well learning the Laotion language. He says that they speak entirely Laotion in their classroom now and he is giving lessons in Laotion. It is amazing how they can learn a language so quickly.
