Green Green Grass of Home

Just a couple more shots of Nate's homecoming day.

Prior to his arrival, we decorated the house and yard with posters, balloons and a banner. On August 1, I had a countdown poster in our front window alerting everyone to how many days were left -- eh.

And here's the first thing Nate wanted to do when we arrived at our house....get reacquainted with his quad. Looks happy, doesn't he? He had a chance to ride it just a few days later when he, Derek, Parker and Alex took a trip to the sand dunes.

I just can't get enough of this smiling face.

You are clearly one happy Momma to have him home! I'm glad your family is reunited.

I remember your post when he left - my goodness he has grown into a fine young man (even if still a boy at heart on his quad). Hoping for equal success at BYU.
