Back from Brazil

The Thursday before we left for Michigan, Richard's brother Andrew came home from his mission. He had been in São Paulo, Brazil for 2 years serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was so exciting to see him again after such a long time. We quickly realized how big a hole he left when he was gone. The Burton family is complete again!




That is one happy momma!

Welcome Home Andrew!! (hopefully he'll read this) I can't believe he's already back. He needs to come visit us all in Ann Arbor! We're excited that you're true Wolverines now and can't wait to hang out. We'll be in town soon!

GREAT PICTURES! Congratulations to Andrew on being home! the family looks thrilled :) and way to go to you two on moving to Michigan!!! I'm SO excited for you and glad you got there safely. Good luck to Richard starting school, and good luck to you settling in. We miss you guys a ton and will always remember our D.C. trip with fondness. Thinking of you guys... :)

That's so exciting! Tell him we said WELCOME HOME! I can't believe it's been two years already... (Crazy how fast it goes when it's not your own family member or boyfriend, huh? haha) Well, that's great to have had some time with the whole fam together. Nathan's family hasn't all been together since Nathan left on his mission in 2005... So weird. Matthew has another year on the mish and then we will FINALLY all see each other!

I'm so glad you guys made it to Michigan safely and had lots of help getting settled in. Sounds like a fun place! Can't wait to hear more. Hope Richard is enjoying school. Good luck with everything!
