Sealing Day II

What a day! She is all ours, forever and ever! We had our baby girl sealed to us today in the temple and everything went so well. I finished her dress yesterday- it turned out so cute! Both she and G were very good for the babysitting temple workers. I was nervous about how she would do without me, since she is very much a momma's girl right now, but she didn't cry at all when I left her with them. I didn't even have time to worry about G until Jared and I were sitting in an adjacent room prior to the ceremony and I realized,

I just brought a TWO YEAR OLD into the temple!

Of course by then it was all too late and if he was going to be irreverent and run screaming around, it would happen, right? Fortunately, it didn't happen. As we sat in the room amidst family and friends, they brought in my two children, dressed in spotless white, no drool or Kool-aid stains anywhere. G ran straight to me, but was happy to sit on G'ma Judy's lap and June bug came in smiling ear to ear. I think she knew we were all there for her. She smiled the entire time and everyone was in love with her.

I am so grateful for the chance I've had to be mother to my two babies. The families they were born into are special to me because of the gift and sacrifice they've given. I am grateful to be a member of a church that believes that families can be together forever and that God designed it that way.

What a day :)
