Daddy's HOME!

Richie went on a trip to Israel for 10 days, and he got home on Sunday.  We missed him so much, and we were so excited to see him when he got back!  The kids wanted to have a celebration to welcome him, so they made posters....


And Mamie made a heart-shaped cookie cake using this cute cookbook that she got for Christmas from her Nana.


Then they waited...and waited....and waited...


When he finally got here they screamed and ran to hug him.  It was a great welcoming home!


Bro brought the kids these souvenirs.


Richie brought each of us a special souvenir too. He brought me a nativity made out of olive tree wood.


He brought Mamie a cup to remind her of God's love poured our for her and to remind her to share his love with others.


He brought Griffin a slingshot to remind him of the story of David and Goliath, and to remind him that he can do all things through Christ's strength.


He brought Margaret a pink cross charm for a necklace. (Pink because she loves pink and it's fancy.) It's to remind her of the joy of her salvation.


We are so glad that daddy is home! I will post some of Richie's pictures from their trip later on this week.

Pin It!
