Our Mattman returned home tonight after serving faithfully for 2 years in Houston, Texas. We are so glad to have him home! We missed his noise! His flight was delayed 4 long hours, so we were pretty anxious by the time he finally arrived.
Adam has been so excited to see him! Although Tessa can point out his picture, she was only about 10 months when he left. So they have some catching up to do.
Uncle David, Adam, and Uncle Ben
Aunt Katy and Tessa
Katy and Andrew tried to keep the kids occupied by teaching them how to play "Down By The Banks".
Aunt Katy told Adam some stories.
We had another poster ready for Matt, but Katy changed it to "You're Late". We thought it was fitting and Matt thought it was funny.
Adam was so excited to see Matt and show his sign that he refused to stand back with the rest of us and had to stand right next to the hallway. People coming off the plane thought he was very cute.

Ben got a good brotherly shove for being taller than Matt before he got a hug.

Aunt Dee and Matt
After Adam saw Matt and got to hug him, he burst into tears (he's his mommy's boy! We cry over everything....especially happy things. Sorry buddy:) He was embarrassed for crying and didn't want Matt to see his tears. It was super cute!

We are so glad to have him home. The poor guy doesn't get to relax much because first thing in the morning we are off to our next adventure for the month! At least we get to bring him along for this one! Welcome home Elder Mattman!! We love you!!!
