Some Homecoming 'Shots' January 2006

The Three Grandma's - Ritchie, Ritchie and Orton getting ready for 'The Feeding of the 5,000' (ages 86, unknown and 86 - the two senior grandma's birthday's are one day apart)
All 20 of us together - the two grandma's (Ritchie and Orton) , Jim and Carolyn, M'Recia and Charles Clawson, Michelle and Chad Parker, Wendy and Rob Heywood, Ryan and Jessica Ritchie, Paul and Angela Ritchie, Adrienne and Curt Clyde, Tyler and Emily Ritchie and Jonathan and Eliza Ritchie - welcome home dinner at the Homestead in Midway, Utah
The Clawson Family from Las Vegas M'Recia and Charles, Allie, Chas, Brigham and Dane along with the two African grandparents
The Tyler Ritchie family also from Vegas Tyler and Emily and Katelyn - the family treasure (the other six families will be featured on a later edition...
A feeding frenzy at the home following our 'Welcome Home' - this is not really a welcome home - they are some homeless people who were wandering around the neighborhood and in the spirit of Charity we brought them in for 'a feed'...notice some 'old' misison presidents and other African missionaries - Adams', Norby's, Meeks and Atkins - all of 'African' descent...
Some more AFricans - Fitch's, Ficklins, Roberts and others...over 200 'dropped in' for dinner and a visit - this is in the basement of our home in Heber
Different angles of some familiar faces along with Grandma Orton...
Some Virginia missionaries (the Harrison's) and the Young's (parent and family of one of the current Ghana missionaries - Elder Young) -we had around 400 'out of ward' visitors at church including many friends from our Virginia Roanoke Days, Simi Valley, Daniels, BYU, Foundation, Southeast Africa or West Africa as well as nearly all our extended family - (minus a few who were either having babies or other church or family obligations)...
