The Airport Scene!!



What is it about missionaries? They always have to be the last ones to come down the escalator from their plane. Well some do and mine seem to take it to extremes. What is it about me that I think I can act all cool until I finally lose it completely? I tried to wait until he reached the bottom of the longest escalator in world but.............NOPE!









Just to touch his arm and give it a squeeze to make sure he is real brings me joy!



Dad!






Bro!






Sister!







The Fam!! (except for Aaron, who had to work).









His Aunties and sibs!













And some friends that have helped raise him to the man he is!








Having 2 sons serve church missions has been the biggest blessing in my life so far! To have them serve the God I love and His children gives me joy beyond words.




Welcome Home Ben!!!

Hooray, Diane! I know you were so excited, so I'm really happy for you. (secret p.s.: Matt got the job offer, and we're trying to see if we can make it work.)
