times are a'changing.

Not really, but Ben's home and THAT is a big change.

blurry sunflowers for the occasion.

streamers (in Ecuador flag colors) leading the way to his room.

Waiting,waiting, waiting at the airport. My Aunt thought she spotted Ben so screaming and crying insued, only for "Ben" to end up being the pilot of the plane. LOL.

2nd time's a charm.

The awesome quilt a family friend made with pictures from Ben's mission on it.

Specially for the occasion, we painted a living room wall dark red. I thought the shadow of the lamp looked cool.

I can't believe.

This dude comes home in 14 days, do you read me? Thats TWO weeks! At this exact time two weeks in the future, we'll be driving to the airport with signs and banners and whatever else in hand. I could not be more excited. This picture is why I miss him and his craziness. Favorite picture of us eventhough we both look a little strange (and so young).

This dude just turned 11 and bought his first pair of skinny jeans and vans. Girls, look out. He's such an adorable little skater. I love being his older sister and being able to watch him grow up. He's so lucky to not get dressed the way I used to, with Osh Kosh B'gosh and elastic waisted jeans. He's a pretty stylin' pre-teen, I must say.
