Photos of Memo's Pick-Up Trip
Here are some of the "highlight shots" from the trip - Mark is still sorting through 600+ photos and thought these at least hit the high points. As soon as he can try to post the video clip, we'll do that. In the mean time - for those wonderful forum friends who were at the airport and took pictures, feel free to post here as you see fit.
More to follow....

Welcome home! I am so happy for all of you and can't imagine the joy you must be feeling right now! Nick has such a beautiful smile and he looks deliriously happy! My favorite pictures so far are the first one where he's getting a kiss from mom and the one sitting next to dad on the plane! Tony and Branden looked so proud in the newspaper clip! What a beautiful family you all make! I'm so thrilled for you all! God does answer prayers! Take care, Judy

Wow....the welcome home pics are what I've been waiting for for soooo long.
I'm glad the ordeal is over and you can relax at home with your whole family. I am inspired by your courage and tenacity. The things you all endured to bring this young man home are truely inspiring. After so many of these I have to say congrats!! Tom
