My long lost brother!

This past December my brother, Jeff, came to the United States to pay us a visit! We had not seen him in 6 years! Jeff lives in South Korea with his wife, Mia. He teaches for an international school. It was a pretty big deal for him to come.....Dennis, Mike and I met him at the airport in Salt Lake City. It was so wonderful to see him. We stayed up late that night talking. He had changed so much but yet was still the same old Jeff. If that makes any sense.....

The kids were so excited to meet him and get to know him. They hit it right off. And of course Jack and Charley would not leave him alone! They wanted to be with him all the time. It was really sweet.

Jeff was able to come up to Idaho during his visit. It was fun for him to see our house and our life here. And of course the kids loved to play Wii with him! It was wonderful to see my little brother with my kids. He is so great with kids and they just loved him. They showed their classrooms at school to him....which of course was quite exciting. After a few days here in Idaho we then went down to Utah to hang out with rest of the family. We mostly just hung out, ate, talked and shopped for Christmas. We had an early Christmas with the whole family at Stacey's and of course enjoyed Stacey's cooking as always. It was a wonderful week! I miss Jeff like crazy and wish he was closer. Someday maybe we will be able to visit him in Korea.

Jeff, Mike and Dennis at the airport. Dennis thought it would be funny to take a picture with his phone of me taking a picture of them. Dennis doesn't like getting his picture taken.

Mom and Jeff at our house. I love this picture!

I think this picture of the boys with Jeff says it all! They had such a wonderful time. What joy!

The kids loved getting to know their Uncle again. They wouldn't leave him alone! But he seemed to love it and enjoy it all! What a wonderful Uncle.....we miss you Uncle Jeff! Come back soon.......
