I mentioned in another post that we went through the temple as a family, and wanted to elaborate on that a bit more! The three-ish months leading up to my endowment and our sealing Jake and I worked really hard to receive our recommends. It was a challenging and rewarding process that I would go through again and again to be able to be sealed to my family! This is in the church parking lot after meeting with the stake pres, recommends in hand. :) I love these boys!
The day of our sealing (Nov. 1st, we did my endowment session a week before) we dropped Ryan off at the temple nursery. I'm so grateful my sister Hannah was able to be with him because I was SO nervous about leaving him with strangers! Even cute little old lady temple worker strangers. :)
The ceremony was beautiful! We had our closest friends and a few family members there. I will never forget the words spoken and seeing Ryan being carried in all in white. Precious beyond words!! He was soooo tired by that point and was a little sad, but he kept it together. This was on the drive home, poor little guy just needed a nap.
We did pictures beforehand (thanks Angela Young Photography, you rock!) and they turned out so amazing! I think you can really feel our happiness through these.
Happy, happy day!
Our other big news is that we're expecting baby #2 at the end of May!! We knew we wanted our first two babies close, and boy are we getting what we wished for! I'll be honest, I'm nervous. Nervousness is trumped by elation though, and we can't wait to welcome a little squish to the bunch.
I'm 16 weeks now and we find our the gender in less than a week! For my sake I hope it's a girl, but for Ryan I hope it's a boy. I think it'd be so fun for him to grow up with a brother close in age. We'll see!!
