Belated Post

I have a few belated posts to catch up on.  But this one is a biggie.  Neil’s homecoming from his Brazil mission happened on May 26, 2011.  Here are a few images from the airport.

Anna made it easy for Casen to break the ice meeting his missionary uncle for the first time. The card explained everything he just couldn’t put in words.

 

There were hugs all around. . .

It ain’t heavy – he’s my brother.  Kyle finds out what a missionary carries and how heavy it is.

The other day I came home to find Neil just getting home from work.  He was sweaty and grimy and he questioned my wanting a hug.  I told him I didn’t care – I still can hardly believe we get to see and be with him everyday.  I found sending a missionary son away for 2 years to be a Happy Heart-Ache.  But I have found nothing achy about receiving him home.
