Welcome Home Ken!

This post is a little late, but this is just a little taste of what we have been up to lately.

On July 8 Elder Gardner returned from the Dublin, Ireland Mission. It's a lot more fun to see your brothers come home then to see them leave.

We had to get him a few things to help him adjust to the world again :)

***update***
I failed to mention we were able see Matt's brother Adam and his wife Nikki and kids while were there too. I didn't get any pictures but their kids are sure cute :)

We went out to Illinois a couple weeks ago to visit some of Matt's family. Here are some highlights from our trip.

We rode the train downtown one day and went to Millennium Park and a Cubs game.
