Our first family picture!
In our religion, we have a ceremony where a newly adopted child or children is sealed to the family for all of eternity. It was a very special day for us. Here is a picture of our family at the temple just after the ceremony.
Thanks for letting me share. This is the first picture I've posted since we've been home. I need to get with the program!!! The twins are doing great! The older kids are taking things in stride - and loving these two newest little family additions. We've been home a month now and man, time is flying by! I heard people post that this happens once the baby comes home, and I guess I'm adding my stamp of experience. Before the babies came home, each week crept along. Now that they are here, I can't seem to separate the days! I hope and pray that you all find a measure of peace this weekend! Wishing you all a quicker process, wherever you may be. P.S. Max is standing and Joey is sitting - looking bewildered asking, "are these really my relatives?" !
