Andrew's Farewell and Andy's Hello

Even though Andrew has a couple more weeks before he leaves to the MTC for his mission he gave his farewell talk on Sunday. From Andrew's talk we all learned that he sucked at journal keeping until recently and that he's grown immensely in the gospel and faith in the last couple of years. While in sacrament we also learned that we now need 2 big rows for the family and countless little baggies of fruit snacks and goldfish to keep us in our seats!

Andy Hardy (the unofficial oldest of the McCorristin children) surprised us all by showing up at the temple on Saturday. He is the reason Andrew is named Andrew. Andy has been a good friend to the family forever and was a great addition to a good weekend together.

The Andrew behind the Andrew. (Just for Andrew I figured that I'd go with a random statement that he would have said if given the opportunity!)

Andy had to leave early so we took a few quick pictures with him before he headed to Idaho. This was a normal as they could all look. Trust me I tried to get serious and happy. We just can't be!

Andrew's extra friends came in handy to take a couple pictures of all of us. EVEN ME! Granted I had to crop it down, but still... It was nice to have a picture of all of us. : )

After church was over Grandma and everyone else came home and we had dinner. It was such a nice evening that we all ate outside and enjoyed the cool breeze and the grass. Josh had fun chasing Eryn and Allie with bugs. They found some ants and a beetle and went crazy! The happy and sort of terrified squeals and screams were so funny.
