Welcome Home

Elder Robert Paul LeBaron (aka Elder LeBaron V) returned home from his mission in Toronto Canada this evening! It was so fun to see him and help introduce him to his 4 new nieces and 1 nephew who were born while he was gone (when he left 2 years ago Bentley was the only baby in the family!) We have been anticipating Bob's return for over a month now since he extended and ended up staying a few more weeks in the mission. He is a good boy and I am so proud of him. He has always been a remarkable person--even as a kid--and talented in so many ways. I have known Bob since he was about 10 years old and it's crazy to see him now as the spiritual, mature and of course funny man that he is. I will miss Bob's weekly emails and the testimony he so regularly shared in them. I always felt uplifted and happy and proud of him as my brother-in-law after reading of his activities and especially of his love for the Gospel. Hopefully he will adjust to regular life easily and enjoy all the family time that we have planned (I have a feeling that he will slide into LeBaron silliness quite easily but maybe it's just a hunch). Welcome home Bob!! We love you.

We love Bob! How fun that he is home and that so many of you are living here to greet him! I will also miss his wonderfully uplifting emails but it will be great to see him around!
He looks so young in that picture with Bean!

Care you look pretty.

Beans is so small and mushy in that bottom picture. I can't believe there are so many new babies since he left!

Hurray for Bob!

How did all the tiny ones warm up to him? Was Bentley excited or did he really know what was happening?
