Family and Friends

We have thoroughly enjoyed our trip home this summer to visit with family and friends!  Just a few pics to share with you of our loved ones in chronological order:

Jolaine (BFF) picked us up at the airport and brought us safely home!  THANKS!!! 
(Can you tell I've been traveling over 16 hours by this point??)  She's also crazy enough to be taking us BACK to the airport after her first day of school with kids.  LOVE HER!!!!

Kim adjusts Hokey's headdress to be sure he looks just right!

I apologize to those friends I saw when I didn't have my camera!!!  I also wish I had been able to see everybody during this short visit home.  As I told one friend, imagine putting off all your errands and appointments for one entire year and not seeing any family or friends during that year.  Then, you are given 2 weeks to run all errands, make appointments, and still have time to visit with everyone:  can't be done!  We've gone crazy trying to fit everyone in, and it's so sad that we have to head back before we succeeded!  Thanks to all of you who made our trip home so special.  Love you all!
