Families are forever!

You saw pictures of step one, in the adoption process of Julianna and Phillips darling toddler son.

Next step happened Friday night...sealed at the Temple!  It was just beautiful to behold.  I counted it a privilege to be there being as how I'm not kin, so to speak.  Sometimes being sisters in the Gospel makes you kin-folk.  Our Temple is small and has limited seating in the sealing rooms.  We were in the larger of the two and it was filled up.  Well, I think it was.  It was such an emotional event but it seemed full to me.

Julianna's friend, Cheryl, brought Timothy into the room and she looked like an angel carrying an angel, with both of them dressed in white.  Timothy was fascinated with the chandelier, the mirrors, all the people and very happy to see his parents.  One of my absolutely most favorite moments was when the parents were holding hands at the altar, and Timothy's hand was holding theirs and he leaned into his Dad and pressed his head against his Dads forehead as the sealer was speaking.  it made me teary.

Saturday was party time and family and friends from Ward & work- those from hither, thither and yon did a big meet and eat and greet and celebrated such happiness and then Sunday...a blessing at Church...a beautiful inspired blessing was pronounced on this little guy!

It was just a bit of heaven to see the events unfold one after the other and to be an attendee happy spectator. 

I have some pictures from Temple night.  they aren't award winners on focus but you can see it anyhow and maybe share the joy.
