Hunky Cousins, Tanner, Drew and David loving the SUN!
Fashion gals, Great-Grandma Gege with her newest adorable great-granddaughter little Lily!
Joyful Grandpa Norm hangin' out with 10 of his 21 great-grandchildren on this reunion's new toy, the Airhead! In the near future, Dad will have 2 more great-grandbabies to love!
We are thankful for the privilege of serving here in NYC, but this week our hearts have been in Oceanside, California as all of our family have partied at the Rossell Reunion. The entire Axelgard Family except Dave, along with Grandma Theresa Rossell, Eleanor and Michael Potter with their new baby, Calvin, congratulations guys, and Chas and I missed it. The Axelgards are picking up our nephew who has been serving a mission in Figi. All our West children and grandchildren, all 22 of them traveled to be with our family and they had a unbelievably great time. The miracle was that my father who has suffered from renal-cell carcinoma for the past 12 years and is under the full time care of hospice was able to join with them on the beach, in the San Diego Temple, and had a mostly pain-free week. He's had an incredible life of love and service and we are so glad he was able to leave his hospital bed and join in. He's always been up for a party! How we love you Mom and Dad and all the Rockin' Rossells! We were there in spirit. Our week has been an especially rewarding one as we held closing social dinners with each of our Institute classes and testimony meetings. All of the scriptures focus on Jesus Christ and we feel that our students have appreciated our class this summer and we have learned so much from them. We thank them for their faithfulness and we love each one. Now we have a break till the second week of September. It's been a great summer!

What a beautiful post Renee! Those are just adorable pictures. It could only have been better to see you and Chas in the reunion pictures. Next year, huh?
Yes, a mission is a "sacrifice" - giving up something good for something better.
Love ya' Sharon
