Missionary Arrival!!

Uncle Boo came home yesterday! (Big-G's little brother) He's been serving a mission for the last two years in the Harrisburg, PA area of the country. We have been writing letters to him every week (just about) for the past two years and have only spoken to him on the phone 4 times in the past two years. We haven't seen him in two years! We missed him so much, but we knew that was where God wanted him to be. He served faithfully and are SO excited he came home! He is still the same old Boo, more mature and cute as ever!

We all waited at the bottom of the escalators for him to arrive. We look pretty impressive, eh?

When Boo saw us at the bottom he literally began running down the escalator.

Mom got the first big hug!

So happy to have Boo home! Holding his niece, for the first time.

All the family at the airport.

After the airport, we all met up at the Lunt's house and he got to be reunited with Paco (the dog) and see his new house! We then went to Cafe Rio and had dinner and went back to the Lunt's for more visiting and hearing about Boo's mission. It was a great reminder to hear Boo recount his feelings about families being eternal and that he never wants to do anything to jeopardize being with his family forever. I wish I could share with everyone the powerful feelings of love and family we felt yesterday. I definitely want to have those feelings forever. Families really can be forever. That is where our greatest joy comes from. I want to always remember that.

Welcome home, Boo!
