What do you do with all that energy while you wait for the airplane to land? You get your kids to color a sign. Not just any sign, THE sign that will welcome their long lost aunties into our world! ‘To show them we love them.’ said Big Girl. (she has already since taken the sign to school for show and tell!)
Just Big Boy and Big Girl came to the airport with me. We where so nervous we got a drink and a donut at the airport Tim’s and sat down to watch the planes landing and departing.
Big Boy was thrilled with the planes and we couldn’t believe it when he actually spotted THE plane land that carried his aunties. We all rushed to the arrival gate, sign in hand and hearts in our throats.
Our reunion began. This picture is of my oldest brother meeting the actual oldest child of the clan!
(Here the kids are standing behind Papa and one of the long lost aunties. My kids where thrilled by the luggage pick up area and had to be pulled away.)
We where all full to bursting when Amber and Kathleen arrived. There where hugs and lots of talking as we all dealt with the initial confusion of actually being in one anothers midst. You see these reunions on tv all the time but to have ones own was surreal. We didn’t know how to do it or plan it but it all just went on around us… all of us just moved through it and let the reunion just come and happen.
WELCOME Amber and Kathleen to our clan!
