Home is the most popular, and will be the most enduring of all earthly establishments.

Tate was in Chicago on his first ever mission trip...

Bill was in Panama City, Florida on his umpteenth mission trip with our students...

I think he blends in amazingly well with all those young uns)

My mission was survival. After having my other half gone for a week,

I felt a little bit like this...

It would have helped if i would NOT have watched seasons 3-5 of Friday Night Lights until 3am three nights in a row. At 41, I still don't quite have that responsibility thing down yet.

Now we are all reunited...

and it feels so good.
