My little brother Michael came home from his mission in Puerto Rico last week and today he and my parents arrived in Utah. I am SO excited to have him back! There are 10 years between me and Michael, but we've always been close. He's the kind of guy that can find common ground with anyone, and is genuinely interested in everyone - he was like that from a pretty young age. I know it made him an awesome missionary and it's one of the reasons he has so many friends and people who love and look up to him. I can't wait to see what he's going to do next! We're looking forward to see him continue in school and football - WOOHOO! - and to have him around to play little brother and uncle. Love you Michael!

| After going home to Hawaii for a week, Michael, came back to Utah with mom and dad and we were there to give him a real returned missionary airport welcome. Malia's sandwich board sign! So cute. |

| Because of all the kids, it took us a little while to get into position so Michael was kind enough to wait at the top of the escalator until we got set up. When we were ready we called for him to come down and we all cheered. |

| Uncle Mike and all the nieces and nephews...when he left there was just Malia and Kina and Maddox. |

| Together again...good thing we're all skinny, this couch was perfect. |
