My BROTHER came home!

BEST DAY EVER, was on July 4th when my brother Ethan came home from his mission! We started out the day with the Rupert Parade (a tradition I've had my entire life), and then we got to see our missionary after 2 very long years. Ethan served his mission in Vancouver Canada, speaking Korean. He taught only Koreans and had mostly Korean companions. I can honestly say I didn't have an appreciation for his commitment to his mission until we tried to make this sign:

 Yes, people that is the Korean language right there! Guess what it says? 
"LONG TIME, NO SEE"!

 Adelynn got to hold a sign

We weren't sure if this was his plane, so we just kept watching the people coming off the plane, 
as soon as we saw him in his suit and tie we burst out crying. They were tears of joy!

 This girl really missed her brother!

 Jack was happy to have some luggage to play with. 

My dad bowed to him, it was too funny!

 Getting some love from the girls after 2 years. 

 Did you know that missionaries can't hold babies? 
2 years is a long time to go without holding babies, swimming, dating. 
I totally admire this kid!

 Ethan and Grandpa Koyle 

This girl is showing you how we ALL felt this day!

Doesn't he look great!

The Gordon Koyle Family was together again!
