In recent years, I have discovered the airport to be both the happiest and the saddest place on the face of the earth.
I rather like the arrival hall while truly detesting the departure gate.
Thursday evening found us at the happy place- the arrival gate.
And my heart became a little bit more whole.
After a ten month separation, these two were reunited.
Having grown up in a missions active family and church, I knew missionary kids grew up and left for college. When we left Ohio and moved to Taiwan, I knew my kids would do the same: grow up, graduate, and move back to the US for college.
But knowing it and living it are two different things.
For the past three years, I have been living it, and might I say, its not easy!
It is moments like these that sustain...

| Silly times of togetherness. |

| I was curious to see how our hair colors compared. |
Abbi made it home, just mere hours before Jake's 16th birthday arrived. He chose one of Abbi's favorite places for his birthday dinner. Pho has become a family favorite- delicious, filling, and affordable!

| Old enough to cut his own cake! |
Needless to say, while my heart is more full, there are still two large pieces missing.
I think they are in Oklahoma!
