Best Valentine's Day-got sealed!



Our family was able to be sealed in the Mesa, AZ temple on February 14, 2009. It was an awesome Valentine's Day! Austin's birth mother and her family came out to share in this special day. They are the neatest family and so glad they came to be with both of our families as well. The weather was perfect. Austin liked his white tux. He is so big we couldn't button it all the way up and it is size 12 months! We arrived to the temple super early and it was so awesome to ponder the importance of beauty of that day. We saw other children go in and out of their sealing rooms and be sealed to their families. It is so neat to see children in the temple. We were so emotional and words can't describe how wonderful the sealing ordinance was and what it means for our little family. The blessings and covenants made inside the temple are so significant and powerful. We blessed him at home after the sealing and had a wonderful lunch afterwards. He loved all of the attention and even ate his first cupcake that day. He is still sleeping like a champ at night and is really enjoying his oatmeal and solid foods every day.

What a cute boy! I'm so happy for you and your family. The sealing experience is so special. I'm sure you bawled as much as I did when we were sealed. Austin looks dashing in his tux. We have to meet up sometime. Let me know when is good for you. I can't wait to see how big Austin is and have the little guys play together now that they actually can!
