Picking up Kyle in Washington - Day 6

Nannette and I woke up at 6:30 to be at the Seattle temple by 7:00.  Nan 
was like a giddy school girl going on her first date.  She was so excited 
to see her son after 2 years.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
We got to the temple by 6:50 and waited just inside for the missionaries to 
arrive.&nbsp; Finally at 7:15 we heard allot of laughter and chatter coming from 
the entry.&nbsp; Then someone's head peeked around the corner and Nan squeeked 
with happiness.&nbsp; Kyle finished checking in, then came and hugged his mom 
for about 5 minutes.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Nan just kept touching him and rubbing his head to be sure he was really there.&nbsp; 
Me?&nbsp; I just hugged him and then handed him back to his mom.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Nan kept touching him so much he finally threatened to get&nbsp; a stick to poke 
her away with, but he seemed pretty happy himself.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
After the session, we met with all the other Elders for some picture taking.&nbsp; 
It started sprinkling so we kept it quick, but the elders kept talking and 
hugging.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Kyle said that Elder Heinzen was probably his favorite companion and spent a 
while chatting with him.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Finally the mission President started herding the Elders to their van for the 
trip to the airport.&nbsp; We got Kyle's bags out of the trailer and waved our 
last goodbye's.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Back at the hotel, Kadi also jumped on her brother and hugged him.&nbsp; They 
joked and teased allot.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Since I had been on the road for 5 days, I needed to do some laundry.&nbsp; Nan 
volunteered to sit at a laundromat and wash if I would take Kyle to target to 
buy some jeans and shirts.&nbsp; We bought him 4 pair of jeans, and 2 shirts, 
then went back for Nan.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
We were all tired so we went back to the hotel to rest.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kyle and Kadi 
watched a movie while Nan got a nap and I wrote about the trips.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Mike had been at work for the day, so when he got back, we decided to go into 
Seattle for a good meal.&nbsp; We ate at Elliot's down on the docks.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
After the meal, we decided we could either go to the Space Needle, or go to the 
mall to get Kyle a cell phone.&nbsp; Kyle voted for the phone, so that's what we 
did.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
All throughout the day we had been calling people.&nbsp; First we called Koren 
and Klair, our&nbsp;other daughters, then grand parents, cousins, friends, etc.&nbsp; 
Kyle learned how to text message and took to it with gusto.<br>
