Coming "home"

My aunt, uncle and cousins came "home" to the States after 16 years on the mission field in Papua New Guinea. The oldest daughter Hannah was relieved that our family did not bring noisemakers to the airport to greet them =). After spending 48 hours or so at their house in State College, they drove to my parents' house to gather with the majority of my mom's side of the family. With 24 people in the house, it was loud, hectic and merry.
