Our Little Angel
Lizzie's birthday is officially "unknown". Because we wanted to make the day that has become known as her "Birthday" (3 months prior to the day she was abandoned) a significant and meaningful day, we decided to take her to the temple to be sealed to us for time and all eternity, uniting her to our family forever. All the kids were able to receive special recommends and come in with us, and we were surrounded by dear friends and family. It was such a special time. Nathan, especially, has talked about the Spirit he felt there and how special it was, the mirrors that reflect one another endlessly, and how he was able to wear all white. Lizzie was so tired, but she was so good. She truly is our little angel, and we are so blessed to have her as part of our eternal family!!!

Families are Forever
Mt. Timpanogas Temple
It was such a beautiful evening, topped off with dinner with all of those who could come with us. I hope it will be a day that Lizzie can look back on and know that this day, above all others, is special! It's her Birthday!

Waiting for Photo's. My darling Grandma, Lizzie's Great Grandma (she is named after her mother) was able to attend. Lizzie kept running up to her in the temple wanting a hug, and then to Grandma & Grandpa Dalton, Jake, and Mom (Me). She has loved my grandma since the first time she met her. They must have kindred spirits. Other photos are of our dear friends, Mindy & Jared, and of my sister & sister-in-law (Carrie & Jean-Marie), and of course, Jake and my Princess.
Lizzie did not want to sit up for photos, so we finally just let her sit on the ground, and we joined her where she wanted to be. It made us all laugh.
We all had white shoes on inside the temple, but we don't wear our temple shoes outside, so we changed into our black dress shoes and headed outside to the courtyard for photos. Only Ryann and Lizzie had worn white shoes with their outfits to the temple, so they had white outside shoes. I decided to skip the shoes and go in my stockings.
We are all so happy to be together as a family. What a great blessing these precious treasures are in my life.
