Seth is officially home! :-) We all were anxiously awaiting this day, of course. By the time the final hour arrived, most of us were pacing. Beforehand, though, we just hung out at Nana's house (since they borrowed our minivan to transport our RM and his luggage in comfort).
In those final moments, mom was sending Robyn texts to track their progress. We had announcements of "They're at California and Mt. Vernon" and "Just passed College!" Naturally, the girls had no idea what was going on, they just loved chasing each other outside:
But Chad and Robyn were anxious staring at the hill that the van would soon drive over. We did have a good laugh when my announcement of "there they are!" (before the constant street updates) had Robyn almost getting whiplash as she turned to see.
Oreo had her own message, all ready to share so Seth knew exactly what she was thinking (in case he didn't get the memo when she began jumping all over him):
As the van pulled up, Chad attempted to jump in front of the van in an effort to greet Seth first. Robyn did her best to hold him back so she could get there first. Despite both their efforts, Seth crawled over mom and escaped out the other door and ran right into Cadence who got the first hug (not counting mom's first hug at the airport when they picked him up, of course).
A boy and his dog reunited. Aww. Oreo was so happy to see him. She followed him around for awhile, refusing to leave his side.
The only picture I have of Cadence and Seth so far. As expected, she's being a little shy. She'll warm up eventually. Until then, Seth has 2 other nieces and a nephew who are a little more open to his attentions.
Everyone kind of just congregated after the initial hello hugs were done.
Then we all just hung out for the rest of the evening. Seth got BBQ Pringles as a welcome-home gift, but it was also perfect for bribing his nieces to come to him. Megan was not sure what to think of him. Even this morning she was still unsure, but I suspect she'll warm up to him soon. He's just too fun of an uncle to not want to hang around!
So, that was the evening. It was pretty low-key. We had pizza and just hung out. Tonight we're having the more "official" welcome-home dinner with family, but it'll probably be just as low-key. Still, there probably will be more pictures (eventually). And, of course, there are a few more on Facebook for you Facebook friends. :-)
