1/29: Mason's Homecoming (updated 2/4)

My brother Dan and sister-in-law Tara flew home from Ethiopia today with new nephew Mason!  We were so glad that there flight came through the Denver Airport and we were able to meet up with them during their layover.  Braden and Dylon both made their own signs to welcome Mason: 

Notice Mason's name written on the top right and Braden's name on the lower right. 

He wrote these all by himself! 

Dylon went for the handprint technique to sign his poster.

Proud Uncles and Daddy  (Dan, Jer, Matt)

We are so excited that precious Mason is HOME!  He is such a sweet little boy.  I think he's confused by the English language -- he kept looking at us with a funny look.  We did get quite a few smiles and an almost laugh out of him though!   We are happy for Dan and Tara and the new family that God has created.  We look forward to watching him grow and are so thankful he's apart of our family. 

We got a little extra time with all of them too when their flight was cancelled.  They spent the night with us and then drove on to Garden City in the morning.  It is nice that we live in CO now instead of WI and are so close to the airport!  We are looking forward to seeing them again, soon we hope. 

(More pictures to follow when I get copies of them ...)

2/4/10:  Here's a few more pictures from the airport with Mason.

Proud & happy Aunt to be able to love on her new nephew!

Uncle Matt found a fun way to entertain Braden and Dylon.  If I don't watch, they won't get hurt, right!?
