David, Ada, and Maddy waiting for Uncle Gabe at the Airport. It was 10:30pm and they were all wide awake and very excited!
This is a sign that Micha made when Gabe came home from his first semester of school. We thought it was perfect to use again. For those of you who don't know, the Bailey's nicknamed Gabe "Manchild".
Maddy jumped right to Uncle Gabe, she was so excited to see him!
My little brother served his mission in San Salvador, El Salvador and came home June 23. The week before Gabe was coming home I started thinking how sad I was that I wasn't going to get to be there when he got home. He seemed pretty sad that there weren't going to be more of his family there to greet him. Micha saw how upset I was and told me to go home and see him. Once I was going David told Jenny to go too. We decided all of this Saturday and left for Arkansas Monday morning! 4 kids + 24 hours in a car=Insanity. We made it to Witchita Kansas on Monday,16 hours, and stayed the night there. That left us with only 7 hours to drive on Tuesday and Gabe's flight was scheduled to get in at 8:00 that night. We made it to Little Rock about 5:30. His flight"Y'all aren't the worst sisters after all!" Ahh, so sweet. It was wonderful seeing him come off the plane looking all grown up. Like most missionaries when they get home, he was quite boring and weird the first couple of days, but then the old sarcastic Gabe started coming out(thank goodness). He still would cringe and yell at me for saying certain things(it was actually pretty funny to say things just to see his reaction). Yeah I am probably not the best person to have around for return missionaries! The long car ride with 4 kids was totally worth it! Welcome home Gabe!!

Wow, Gabe is so grown up - that's great that you got to see him! Wonderful sign too :) Olivia looks all grown up in that picture in her swimsuit in front of the door. So glad you're all doing well and had a good fourth!
