Last month, we headed to California to welcome my little brother, Jonathan, home from his mission in Argentina. Mei Li wore this to the airport:
The girl is wearing pants! Can you believe that? I've been able to get her to wear pants a few times since then.
On Saturday, 11/7, the whole gang headed to LAX to meet our missionary. The nieces and nephews held up some great signs:
This one's my favorite:
And here he is:
At this point, all the women were crying.
Check out his shoes:
This picture is a classic:
My mom sure missed her boy, who is now a man.
Here he is with nine of his eleven of his nieces and nephews:
We love you, Jon! Congrats on serving an honorable mission!

I do think that wearing a dress all the time is much more pleasing to the eye then car pajamas, which is what Owen insists on wearing everyday. Although Mei Li would look beautiful in anything she wore.
Okay...this totally made me teary eyed! We just sent my sister off on her mission a few months ago and I'm already dreaming about the experience of everyone welcoming her home! So special you got to be there for it!
Which mission did he serve in?
He served in the Resistencia mission.
Wow, he's so grown up! I remember when Jonathan was just a little guy! Makes me feel old, lol. Although, I guess we were pretty young back then too :)
Tell him congratulations for me! I'm sure he's so excited to be home with family again...
Each of your pictures is a classic for a moment that is one of life's highlights. Imagine how much all those little cousins have changed in the past 2 year!
Mei Li looks so cute in her pants! That is so fun that your brother is home! Time goes by so fast... I don't have your correct phone number anymore! I tried to text you for your address and it was some other random person. Ahhh! What is your address? We want to send you guys a Christmas card!
Nothing can compare with his gigantic smile when he saw his family!
Aw, that brings back sweet memories. How fun that you were able to be there. I was on my mission when my little brother came home :(
Me Li is adorable wearing anything! Pants are convenient, especially when it is cold outside.
