Some random shots from a reunion with my side of the family. It was great.

We have some talented new ladies in our blog circle this month from other parts of the world (The Netherlands, Brazil, and Finland!). Welcome! If you’re new to my little space here, my girls are the black haired beauties that are in most of these pics and you can see a glimpse of my husband with the glasses in the third one down.

We had a whirlwind of a July, ending with our baby’s adoption finalization after six long months (We have had her since the day she was born). There were actually some very last minute complications just before we went to court that really threw us a curve ball. Miraculously, everything worked out and we are so happy that now all is well. Also, just this last weekend, we were sealed to our baby and blessed her, two sacred “big deal” events we do in our church (LDS). It was beautiful and so much more that I can’t even put into words. We have had so much great support from family and friends throughout this adoption. We’re so grateful. The image below is of our sweet baby with the dress she wore for her sealing and blessing. It was the dress I wore for my blessing when I was a baby. My heart is full.

Up next in the circle is my dear friend Evelyne Lourenco.
