A Most Special Day

Brace yourself, it's a long one.  There were so many cute pictures, I had to include them all!

Last Saturday, July 14th 2012, we were able to take our precious little boy to the temple to be sealed to us for time and all eternity!  What a marvelous experience.  It was so special to see our little baby, all dressed in white, be brought into the sealing room in the temple.  We were surrounded my much of our family and a few friends.  We are so blessed to have supportive families and we love them very much.  Most of all, we love this little boy with all our hearts.  My eyes tear up every time I look at these pictures.

 Here's a picture with most of my family.  We missed Marc, who is in Kentucky and Andy and Jessica who were about to welcome baby Andelyn into their family.  Jared forgot to tell his family to stay for pictures at the temple, but we've got some randoms of them later.

 My friend Taya came down from New Haven to be there.  We don't see each other much anymore, but I'm grateful for her support too.

 Precious boy!

 Charlie and Daddy!

 Charlie and Mommy!

 Our eternal family!

 These are two of the most important people... Ralynn is Charlie's birth mom and Toby is her son and Charlie's big brother.  We love them very much.  Notice that Charlie is tugging on Toby's ear!

Most of Jared's family came for the occasion and stayed the night for Charlie's blessing at church the next day.  We don't have a lot of room, so some of them camped out in the backyard.  

We didn't get a picture with the whole group (I wish we had),but here are some randoms that Jared took.
