Elder Scott Mathie

My little brother went into the MTC on December 30th. My parents are now officially empty-nesters. Luckily they have plenty of grandkids near by to keep them busy! Here is a picture of Scott on the cold, snowy day he was dropped off at the MTC. They don't do the program anymore that they used to do when missionaries are dropped off. No more movie, etc. Instead, missionaries are just dropped off at the curb. Not sure how I feel about that- I think I would have more "closure" if we had gone to some sort of program or something. It sure made it sad to drive away from Monroe after he was set apart as a missionary! I'm so proud of my little brother and can't wait for him to get out in the field in Philadephia Pennsylvania!
Oh... and we are expecting baby #2 in August. In case you didn't notice the countdown...

Hey congrats on baby number 2... and my mom says she wished they wouldn't have had to sit through the movies and program with Jeff... she said you just sit there and everyone is crying except the missionaries...

When did Scott get that old? It doesn't seem right to me. By the way, I really like the family picture on your new backdrop/banner thingy. Very cute.
