Welcome Home!

Nathan arrived home and it couldn't have been more memorable. Here are the highlights...

• Anne and William brought balloons and everyone cheered when Nathan appeared from the airport.
• Anne was the first to hug Nathan and it looked like she wasn't going to let go and let others hug him.
• The airlines lost the luggage of all the missionaries coming on Nathan's plane.
• Mike and Kara drove from Virginia and arrived just in time to make it to the airport.
• Nathan worked so hard his last week as a missionary that his feet need medical attention.
• William's camera was only taking fuzzy pictures.
• Nathan rode home in style in Anne and William's new truck.

We are so excited to see Nathan and very pleased with his missionary work. It is one week from tomorrow. Or if you are counting days it is 8 days. Willy said it is too early to count hours.

Little Aly's response to Big Aly's picture: (chuckle) "I ride my little bike and Big Aly rides her big bike!"

Big Aly is riding to Little Aly's Birthday

The Smaller Aly

My Aly and I were arguing about whether she should be able to go to a birthday party Malia was invited. Finally she said, "Well, how bout my birthday come and that big Aly can come to my birthday?" I said, "That would be nice but she lives far away in Utah." Aly said, "Aww, well her can drive here!"

All I need are a few friends and that river.

Aly went to Maine and Boston

Hi Nathan,

I went to Boston and Maine for a conference. It was fun and interesting to see all the historical sites in Boston.

This is the Bunker Hill Monument. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first major battle in the Revolutionary War.
This is what is known as the "Freedom Trail." You can follow these bricks to see many of the historic sites. There's my shadow.

This is the campus of the University of New England where I stayed in Maine.
This is the Bunker Hill Suspension Bridge. Pretty cool.
This is the USS Constitution. It is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. It was built after the Revolutionary War to protect the new nation from pirates (and the British).
A street performer. I thought you would appreciate this picture.
This is the Old State House. It was built in 1713. Every year on July 4th the mayor of Boston reads the Declaration of Independence from the balcony. On July 4, 1976 (200 year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) the Queen of England stood their with the Boston mayor while he read. He then gave her $30,000 (see below).
This is the Old South Meeting House where Samuel Adams and others decided to throw the tea into the sea. It was built in 1729. The Boston Tea Party was on December 16, 1773. They threw $30,000 worth of tea into the Boston Harbor. That equates to 8 million dollars today. The Boston mayor did not adjust for inflation, but the Queen of England accepted the money anyway. That's a lot of tea! To this day, there is no tax on tea in Boston.
This is a statue of Paul Revere. His ride was on the night of April 18, 1775.
This is Paul Revere's house. It is very well preserved. It was built in 1680.
This is a plaque on the Old North Church that Paul Revere rode by. It was built in 1723.

Congratulations to Kirk and Shayna!

Wahoo! Ender was not the end. YEA!

We flew to Minnesota this weekend to visit my Grandparents. They are celebrating 65 years of being married. How old will Zeb be when he is married for 65 years?

Zebs Getting Married??

Yes its true Zeb is getting married on Aug 4th in the Salt Lake Temple. I figured this picture was the closest to what it might look like. Mainly because I get called Brad so often.

William came over for dinner

After a week of eating Taco Bell, Weinerschnitzel, Fazolies, Burger King, and gallons of Pepsi, Aly and John revived William with a Sunday Dinner of roast. He looks pretty happy afterwards. William told John & Aly some really good missionary stories. Maybe he will post them on the blog? William is counting the minutes until Anne returns. In the meantime, William keeps his mind off of his loneliness by working out 12 hours per day. Go Team Cerny!
