Daniel is home!


Last week was such a wonderful week. My brother came home from his mission. It was a long wait for us, but it was worth it obviously. He had been scheduled to come home on Tuesday at 11pm, but that morning the phone rang at my parents house and it was my brother calling. He had some bad news, he said his plane was broken and he was still in Ecuador. I immediately thought, "WHAT",  but was relieved that he wasn't on the plane cause if it broke while in the air that would be bad. At least he was safe.  So the whole day my parents where trying to figure out what was going on. We had no idea when he would be home at that point. That night we found out he would be home the next day at 11pm. So we waited all day Wednesday for him. We kept waiting to get a call saying he hadn't left because the airlines where saying the flight he was supposed to be on was canceled. It was a long day, but he made it in that night.

Payton loved making signs for Uncle Danny! He really enjoyed finger painting.


We all got to the airport about 11:20pm and waited for his flight to arrive. It was late of course. Payton and Scarlett were tired and Payton slept through the whole thing. I figured I might as well take pictures of us all waiting.








Finally! Here he comes! It was very exciting. He was a little nervous at first, but we broke him in.
Of course his first huge was from mom. It was a little emotional!
Jared and Danny have not seen each other for over 3 years.
The last time he saw Payton, Payton was 8 months old.


Stef, Danny, Me, and Jared.
 We are just missing our other brother Josh who is on a mission in Paraguay  right now.
