Jeremy's little sister, Annalisa, is on her mission now to Little Rock, Arkansas.  Before she left he took Peter home to see her one last time.  (Peter is lucky he got to go... he was free!)   It worked out to where they could fly to Chicago and meet up with Jeremy's sister, Becca, and her little girl.  I hear both babies were awesome on the flight!

 Jeremy was a stinker and didn't take very many pictures while he was there.  He scrambled and took lots of pictures on their last day there.  I asked him what this picture is and he said... "Just a random picture of Bethanie taking her medicine." 

 Beautiful girls.... Becca and Valerie.  Valerie is 8 months pregnant in this picture.  I wish I looked less like a blueberry and more like Valerie when I am 8 months pregnant.  His sisters are all so gorgeous too.  And photogenic.

 Jer tries to arm wrestle Elliot whenever he comes home to visit...

 Looks like Cameron got in on the action this time...

 I hear Elliot won right handed and Jeremy won left handed.  Pretty nice.... a pretty nice.

 This time they did a push-up contest too.  Becca was between them making sure they didn't cheat.

 Another random photo...

 Baby Ju-Ju.  She was the superstar baby that let everyone hold her and was all smiles and giggles... unlike another baby I know really well.  Maybe next time our kids will be dreamy like Becca's. 

 A quick stop at Krispy Kreme with the future missionary... Annalisa!

 No idea why he took a picture of the inside of his mom's freezer... I'm sure it's for sentimental reasons.  Jer's a pretty sentimental guy.

 Apparently he really liked Emily's socks and shoes that day....

 And her entire outfit.... she's so pretty.  I'm glad my kids have some of those gorgeous Wilde genes in them!

 This picture made me laugh.  Jeremy is not a 'together eater' (ie---- he won't eat cake and ice cream in the same bowl... they have to be separate.)  He was shocked that ALL of these people were eating brownies and ice cream together.  I am a 'together eater' and this picture made me feel so happy.  Although I personally believe that had it been cake and ice cream... there wouldn't be nearly as many people in this picture.  Those Wilde's are funny about their food.

 Becca made this General Authorities object lesson thing for Annalisa.  Jeremy captured a picture so that I would be proud of him.  Nice work, love.

 I thought this picture was so cute of Jessica trimming Elliot's beard for him.  Such a nice, sweet wife.  Nope... she's braiding his beard.  She is a very nice wife. 

They also spent a little time with my family while they were there... visited the temple... and had an openhouse after Annalisa's farewell with tons of family and friends.  Unfortunately... there are no pictures.  I guess I'm still a little bitter about that.  I'll get over it soon... I promise.

The plane ride home wasn't quite as peaceful as the way there... but they managed to make it home safe and sound.  Peter was all smiles when he saw all of us!  I have never seen the little guy so happy!  It was a beautiful reunion.  We missed them so much.
