Waiting for Abe

 July 12th was a very special day.  It was Teagan's birthday and the day her uncle came home from serving an LDS mission in Guatemala.  Teagan was a very gracious birthday sharer and postponed all party plans until the weekend so we could celebrate Elder Durfee's homecoming.

 It was a mini little family reunion.  With this many brothers and sisters, how could it not be?  Slowly, one family after another started to file into the Salt Lake International Airport until we were all gathered at the baggage claim with our signs and balloons.

 After much waiting and several flight status checks, Elder Durfee stood before an adoring fan club made up of old and young alike.
 There were never more sincere hugs given in the lifetime of this red-headed elder.
Teagan even got a little birthday present from this missionary, a little purple bracelet made especially for her from her Uncle Abraham.

I can't believe Abe is a RM! So wonderful. The picture of Mom covering her mouth and Abe hugging Dad brought a tear to my eye. What a happy birthday present.
