Goodbye, Ethan! See ya in 2 years


Cam's youngest brother, Ethan, goes into the MTC today. He's is headed to Edmonton, Canada mission. He will be dearly missed. Cam spends a lot of time with him playing games and hanging out. Ethan has also helped us out several times by babysitting Abby. Abby absolutely loves Ethan, but is quite shy around him. It sometimes takes a while before she warms up to him. It's crazy to think of all the changes that will be taking place while he is gone. Unfortunately, he will miss the birth of two nieces, and I'm sure there are to be many more major events, yet unknown.

This last month, we have spent a lot of our time doing family activities in preparation for his departure. We attended the temple while he went through for the first time, went to his farewell, and have tried to squeeze in as much fun family time as possible. Unfortunately, Cam had to work today, and so we didn't go to the MTC, but we went over Monday night to say our final good-byes.

I know Ethan will be a great missionary, and we are so proud of him for making this choice to serve the Lord for two years.
