Homecoming Memories

A buddy of mine, Curt Stewart, came to the airport in Nashville to shoot our arrival to family and friends.  He did and outstanding job.  Take a look:

For some reason I can't make the video any larger within the blog.  Here is a link to it on youtube where you can see it in HD:  Click Here

Malia's first Halloween!

Malia was Tinkerbell for her first Halloween.  We trick or treated at our next door neighbors and across the street and I think she liked it. She held out her pumpkin at the 2nd house we stopped at! Here are some pictures of the cutest new kid on the block!

She really likes her mini golf clubs so I guess that Tinkerbell's wand??

She doesn't yet know that candy goes in the pumpkin.

Let's go!

Sweet puffins (cheeks)

This is the greatest stuff I've ever tasted!!!

Policeman Landon stopped by to trick or treat . . . 

. . . and arrested Malia for saying trick or treat in Russian!

Coming home day pictures

Malia arrived home with Mama & Papa on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 5:45 pm at Nashville International Airport.  Look at all the people who were there to greet us!  It was great to have such a wonderful welcome.  (My parents are missing from the group shot because they arrived at Nashville earlier that morning and waited inside security to meet us at our gate.) We loved the shirts!  Thank you so much!!

Malia's friends

I think they see us

We're finally here!!!!

I love AK's face in this shot.

Malia and her new best friend, AK!

Nana has been waiting awhile to do this.

Landon is so proud of his sign. He's also been waiting a long time for this.

Malia liked her drum from Madison.

Caroline gave Malia a pumpkin shirt.
