We arrived to Omaha on Monday, February 18, President's Day. BRRRRRR! Was it cold when we got off that plane! I could see my breath on the walkway, and I looked back to see Mateo's reaction... he didn't know what to think and had an excited and nervous smile on his face as Grandma Sue carried him. It didn't seem we had missed much in the way of weather!
The best part of coming home was watching Mateo say hello to his Daddy after not seeing him for 2 1/2 weeks - I'm sure he had been wondering where Dad had gone! As we walked up the ramp, Jaimie carrying Mateo, we could see Jose, Jaimie's sister, Janelle, and our friend Aaron Murray waiting for us. As soon as Mateo got close enough to see Jose, he started jumping in my arms. As we approached Daddy, Mateo reached out for his Daddy's face and he smiled so big! He looked at me and then back at Jose and you could just see the joy on his face, seeing Daddy again! It was a priceless moment full of many happy tears.
Zaida Murray, Blanca Bello and little Isabella Murray arrived just a few minutes afterwards, bringing Mateo's cousin Emma, too. Februrary 18 celebrated Isabella's 3rd birthday as well as Mateo's arrival to Omaha. Here are a few pictures capturing these special moments.
