My sister Amy was on a mission in Panama for a year and a half! We talked to her on the phone a few times while she was gone and we never saw her. I was about 3 months pregnant when Amy left, therefore, she had never met Effie. We picked her up from LAX Airport on March 10, 2009. Effie met her Auntie Amy for the first time...
My sister-in-law, Kim made these adorable shirts for Effie and Steele (both babies Amy had never met)

All the kids with their t-shirts on...waiting for Auntie Amy's plane to arrive.

She's here!! She went straight for the babies!

I think they like each other!

Peek a boo!

These are the shirts Kim made for the other kids...she did an awesome job!!
Maxyne, showing off her shirt.

Uncle Chris and Amy. Uncle Chris was taking pictures the whole time! He is awesome!

Shannon, Amy, and Chelsea.

Our little family with Amy.

The
Soltysiak's (my sister Shannon's family) and Amy...where's R.J.??

Amy and
Maxyne.

Believe it or not, minus the 2 other missionaries Amy is standing with in the back, this is my
immediate family! All of us with our spouses and kids...we equal 18 people!
