reunited

since last summer my dear sister, emily, has been overseas with her husband doing missions work in asia. my heart has been very full this year; full of joy at their love for the Lord; full of heartache as she has been too far away to hug; full of anticipation to see her again. 

and now for the month of july she and her hubby are back in the states to visit. 

and these days have been more than precious to us. 

to celebrate their homecoming, i asked my better half to whip up some paper airplanes for a garland. he happily agreed, and within minutes i had a pile of book pages folded into aviation origami. 

fresh flowers in old jars.

vintage postcards.

welcome back.
