He's finally home!!

Its been 4 1/2 months and he's home!! I love Hannah's face in the picture as she first sees him coming off the train at the airport. We all missed him so much and are so glad to have him back.

We have been so blessed to have the time pass with safety for him and us. We had so many people offer to help me out with the kids and the yard. Thank you so much for all the support! We could not have done this without you!!

My baby is 2!!!!

Happy Birthday Natey!!!!! We love this boy!!

Nate isn't quite ready for the Thayn family traditional breakfast in bed, but he loves a good bowl of cereal. Maybe next year buddy!

He likes to climb in the other kids car seats and pretend like he's a big boy. He's such a ham!!

He loved opening his presents....

That's a happy birthday boy if I ever saw one. I know its not the best picture, but he was just being so funny!!

Elle's first swim meet

Elle had her first swim meet last month. She swam hard and had fun!! Here are a few pictures of her and Hannah and a couple of other girls on swim team. Fun times!!

Liz and Rachael

I am so blessed to have 3 wonderful sisters. While Jarin was gone, 2 of them came to visit.

Liz came from Lincoln, NE. She is amazing!! She has 3 boys 3 and under!!! Plus, she was preparing for a move to Provo, UT where her husband Mike is going back to school for his MBA. Liz is a regular TAMNer in the making (only nicer. Seriously, she's WAY nicer!). Thanks Mike for sending her!! We loved playing with Aunt Liz and her purse full of bumpy jelly beans.

Rachael came from American Fork, UT and left her 4 little ones in the capable hands of her in-laws, then her husband when he arrived for the weekend from Portland. She was getting ready to move to Portland, OR, where Marshall is working for Nike. We had a blast playing "beauty shop", going to the beach, and playing with her iphone. Too fun!! Thanks for coming... I hope it was as fun for you as it was for us!

They have both moved now, well semi-moved. They are both in heavy transition with their little ones. We pray for them daily as we know how challenging that can be. Love you girls!! Thanks for coming!!!
