Taking off to the airport
The sign the kids made for the occasion
Here he comes!
Mom's bear hug
He's got the missionary glow!
This photo was taken when Linda returned from her mission. Johnathan was 11 days old.
Now Johnathan is the returning missionary! We are just two proud mama's.
John and Tom
Talking...
The whole family at last.
Going to baggage claim
Waiting...and talking...
Yeah, all the bags were there!
Our van is full again.
Let's eat and share mission stories.
John's tie collection...
It’s finally just hit me that I really am going home. I’m choking back tears as best as I can, though I’m not sure the reason for them. It’s weird as I’ve thought about it these last few days. I’m gonna miss my mission. All the crazy people and all the different crazy churches and not even having hills let alone mountains... I’m gonna miss it. And that sounds insane to me. I swore that I wasn’t gonna miss my mission. Sure I’d love it but surely I wasn’t going to miss the missing teeth and tattoos. It’s a really strange thing...
Life’s about to change in ridiculous ways here soon, and honestly I’m ready for some of those changes but others I’m not so sure about.
Well enough rambling for me.
I love you a lot and can’t wait to see ya here in a couple days

MOM!!!
Well this will be my last email to you while I am serving as a full time missionary in Indiana. I want you to know that I love you a ton. I’m grateful to have been sent to this family that we have. I love all of you. Thank you for all of the support you’ve been to me especially as a missionary. I probably couldn’t have done it without you.
I love ya
John

The best words a mom can hear...
"My mission was the best thing I have ever done."
My thoughts today...
"Heavenly Father, thanks for making days like today possible. Thanks for all the help along the way."
Oh Anne! it is so wonderful to see him home! He looks so much like you these days. It is wonderful to have him safe and home. I love you and am tickled pink that he is here! Let me know if he is going to speak or have a homecoming talking we would love to come! Love you.
