Welcome Home Uncle Jacob!


Ben's younger brother Jacob recently returned home from serving a two year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Tallahassee, FL. Although lately we have had way more to do than time to do it in, we couldn't let Jacob head back to college before we were able to catch-up, so we caught a quick flight to DFW with a return ticket booked only 48 hours later. Isabelle was excited to actually meet in person the Uncle she has had a picture of her with in her bedroom for the last 24 months and especially to also see her silly Uncle Seth! From the moment we arrived she played as busy and as quickly as she could moving from one thing to another, definitely making use of the short stay. We had fun visiting with Jacob as well as Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Seth and Joe and even found a little bit of time to celebrate Ben's birthday with an alligator cupcake cake, in honor of Tallahassee, FL. Although it was a fast visit, all three of us really enjoyed our time in Dallas and were especially grateful to reunite with Jacob. Now Isabelle has a real face to go with her picture and can't wait to play with her Uncle's again soon!
