We were off to see Jenna, Justin, Aria, and Colette arrive in Colombus. However, a luggage mess up caused them to miss their scheduled flight, putting their new arrival time at 10:30. Having promised a dinner of Chipotle' we headed there for dinner, without Justin. Sad, I know. Then, we loaded back up four hours later to welcome them home.
The whole gang, little to big, was excited despite the late hour.
Elli and Nana had worked on this sign for a few hours that afternoon and were ready to put it to use.
Justin's sister jessica also made some signs and we were standing at the ready for quite a while.
The moment when we first saw them was amazing. So many happy tears. Aria is here saying hi to her grandpa Dodson.
Jenna hid her head on Colette coming down the escalator, overcome with sudden tears at seeing family.
I got some cuddle time with this sweet baby girl who has the same face but seems a little taller:)
Colette was ok to be held by others for short periods of time. Nana was getting as much of that time as possible.
Showing off her new skills of walking.
Elli even got a turn at some hugs and snuggles. Elli was amazing with all the littles, helping us keep track of them and keeping them happy.
Only missing Evie in this picture of the cousin reunion.
She was so sleepy and while Jenna and Justin were finding out that their bags, all 8 of them, were once again lost, she fell asleep.
It was so amazing to see them in person and to hug them. You don't realize how good it is to be with someone in person until you actually are. We are excited to spend the next 8 weeks with them as much as we can.
