Started as just your normal hectic morning trying to leave home, knowing you've at least forgotten at least 2 important items. After finally getting in the car we head out, knowing that we have just enough time to grab some lunch before arriving to the Airport on time to welcome home our brother/uncle Tatton!
Unfortunately an easy trip was not to be had..... our first 30 minute delay was a few miles outside of Payson, which we figure was a car accident or something like that.
Our second 30 minute delay, of which I was too completely upset to take a picture of, consisted of Alex hitting a curb and popping our tire when we pulled in to McDonald's to see if they had any 'Wizard of OZ' toys... Fortunately Big-O tires, aka Rip You Off Tires, was able to quickly get us in and out.
All the wonders of the airport made it a very exciting place for our children, even more for Alex who had fun playing with all the toys in the souvenir shops!
"Look Mommy a CASTLE!"
This was the "castle". It is a huge stained glass ceiling. 
Being Bored/anxious/excited......
Some maracas that were of course purchased. One set for each girl. These girls sure are loved/spoiled by their Nana, Papa & Grandma :) 
I got bored waiting and started taking pictures of random people..... I thought these Orthodox Priests looked pretty cool too!
The two main women of Tatton's life:) I thought it was funny that the whole time my mom kept her hands up by her chest, as if holding her heart in for fear it was about to burst!
This picture says it all. All the prayers, and waiting and hoping. All the hard work put in by so many people to get to this point. The reward and overwhelming anticipation of seeing her little boy after 2 YEARS!!!
Here he comes! By-the-way, him and his companion were the VERY LAST people to come out from their flight. Much to our irritation, the boys thought it would be fine to use the rest room and get a drink of water before gracing us with their presence.
Mommy gets the first hug.
Daddy got the second.
Uncle Tatton got to meet little Eliana for the first time!!
I think it was LOVE at first sight!
Rachel finally getting her hug. You can see the top of my moms head-- right after I snapped this she pried them apart. haha
