Welcome Home Elder Champlin!

Spencer FINALLY got home from his mission in Buenos Aires Argentina this past weekend. It actually didn't feel like he had been gone for two years but I didn't like him being gone at all. It was a joyous reunion.

Three of Spencer's best friends/companions from his mission came to the airport with us. They were the designated sign-holders. My fourth graders helped me make these signs. Yes, we were shameless in the airport to Stephen's chagrin. He is in the airport with obnoxious people like us a little bit too often I guess.

Lyndsay and Kamie with...yes...balloons.

The whole group waiting...

Spencer and his lovely sisters.

This is now the only family picture that we have with everyone in it besides my wedding photos. It's so great to be all together again! Check out Ashley's baby bump, the first grandchild is due in May!

In true missionary style he's sporting his ripped shirt and shoes with the soles barely hanging on.

It was such a fun weekend. We watched both of the Harry Potter 7 movies, ate delicious cheesecake (his first food request, can you tell that he grew up with all sisters?), went to the temple, and just had such a great time together. Welcome home Spencer!
