Uncle Taylor's Home!

After a very long 2 years, our Uncle Taylor finally came home from his mission on December 8th!  We were very proud of him and the service he gave to the people in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  It didn't take Zach and Hailey long to remember how much fun he was to climb on, jump on, and lay on.  It's taking Tate a little bit longer to warm up, but that's not too surprising since he was born while Taylor was gone and he's just now seeing him in person instead of in pictures.  But he's warming up to him faster and faster each time he sees him, so before long he'll be climbing and crawling all over him too.

The first thing Zach and Hailey asked after he got home was when he was going to come down and spend the night at our house.  A week or two later, down he came and poor Taylor pretty much got tackled when he walked in the door.  I swear the kids didn't let him go the whole time he was here.  One of my favorite things was when they all fell asleep on the couch for a few minutes.  I couldn't help taking it a picture, it was so cute.  They didn't all stay asleep for long (or maybe they really weren't all asleep to begin with), but it was fun none-the-less.

They certainly love their Uncle Taylor and really missed him while he was gone.  In fact, he's been down 3 or 4 times in the past month and a half to spend the night with us, I think the kids are making up for the lost time the past two years!
