We had such a nice visit with my brother & his family last week. They were only here Thursday night and Friday and then had to head back home Friday night. They were my first house guests though so I had fun preparing for them to come stay with us!
Nathan & Kent relaxing before we headed out for family Christmas
We tried to get some family photos together Friday evening...our last Christmas together for several years. Dad & Mom had driven around 12 hours on Friday to get back for family Christmas.
My oldest brother, Drew, and myself. He left for Africa just a few days after this photo.
On Monday, 12/27, we headed to Michigan to have dinner together. We were able to help them finish weighing their (11) suitcases before we had to head out at 5 AM the next morning. Their flight left at 7:30 AM and we had just a couple hours of sleep. Tears were shed by all and the memories we've made together over the last few months have been special.
The Last Supper :)
Red Lobster...their choice for their last American meal
...and they're off
They should be to Cameroon Africa by this evening...2 days of flying, 8 carry-on bags and 11 suitcases later. I'm praying they have made it safely. Thankfully they will have internet and a video phone that we can have contact with them through.

I hope they have a great experience! That's great you'll still be able to video conference and whatnot.
I am PATIENTLY waiting to hear from Drew and family.
