family but even more special to do work for your own family which is why we were there. Joseph's dad has been furiously working on family history (he's becoming like you mom!) and had 50 cards of children and couples for us to seal together. My favorite moment of the night was when Joseph and I were representing a couple and Maggie's husband Justin was being sealed to them as their son. The sealer read the names of the parents and then said the name of their son, Simon Whitmore. I felt such quickness and joy leap in my heart and I looked at Joseph and saw him smiling back at me. Since our little boy is named Simon (although he goes by Bentley) I suddenly saw this ancestor as a sweet, young child who had parents that just ached for him to be theirs forever. It was my first time doing sealings for children to parents instead of just couples and it was so wonderful. Its such a beautiful part of the Gospel, the fact that we can be together as families forever. I love my family more than any other people in my life and know that
temples make it so we can all be connected beyond this life.at Cold Stone after the temple

Care sounds like a great date night! Who had your kids?
Hurray for Simon! I have never done sealings at the temple, maybe I will next time we go.

thanks for the tip Heid--I have deleted the comment! Sealings are awesome--I love them. Even just couple sealings to remind us of our own marriages and the amazing things in store for married couples.
I love doing sealings as well! It is such a beautiful experience and I highly recommend it to Heidi.
The LeBarons look so great! How fun that you are all there together (well, minus Flori and Bob and Jim). You are so blessed to be part of such an amazing in-law family.
