End of May 2011 Mission Poster

This is the last month!

Look at that. The poster is full....

And then some. We had to add 5 more stickers for May.

Oh what happy little bugs these are to finish out the poster!

Except that's not the end.....there will be one final sticker tomorrow! The day he comes home!!! :)

.

This is how we told Elder Gary whether he had a nephew or a niece. He doesn't like to find out in advance. So it was a good thing he was on his mission......cause it wasn't a secret around here!

Needed a little love before the pictures.

Cutest little Brody bug.

So tired. Maybe he will be awake when we get to the airport in 2 weeks.

I think it's not a secret anymore. He has the cutest little nephew Brody!

End of April 2011 Mission Poster

And we come to the end of yet another month. This is an exciting month as we have only one more left!

The triangle that is left is very small now!

Aren't those the cutest little Easter stickers?

Yep. That's what it says, 26....but there are a few more days than that. We're going to have to add our own 'circles'.

So little left!
