Hanging with Hunter and Carter

HOME

 The welcome home sign!

 Reunited with his dogs.  K.O. just wanted to play fetch.  We didn't really get the reaction we were hoping for, but we are sure they are glad he was home.

 Visiting the now "old" sheep.  Yet, Rocket and Sunday are still guiding the herd!

 Cado's first glass of milk.  The pictures tell the story of how happy he was for that.

Meeting Some of Cado's Wishes

 Packing the bags in the Suburban.  This vehicle has brought home every single missionary.  It's a tradition by now.

 Fresh cookies ready for Cado on his seat.

 We went to the Cheesecake Factory so that Cado could get a giant hamburger.  One of his first wishes.

Hunter loved his burgers and fries.  It's so awesome that he likes regular food!

Dayton Was Late Because Cado Was Early!

 Dayton, Brooke, Hunter and Carter made it on the scheduled time, however they missed Cado by about an hour because that boy had come in early.

 Meeting Hunter again.  He was rather shy but you can see that smile!

Meeting Carter for the first time too.

Some of Cado's Favorite Buddies

 Elder Law, Elder Richards and Elder Page.  Best buddies for a life.

First Sighting

 Here's our first sighting of our boy.

 There is nothing better than seeing him walk toward us.

 ....Except for the first hug that follows.

 This is the happiest moment in a mom's and sister's and dad's life!

Waiting for Cado to Arrive!

 It's a good thing we got to the airport early because once we got there we found that Cado's plane was actually an hour ahead of schedule!  We only had a few minutes to take some BEFORE pictures before that boy arrived.
