Seneca's Perfect Weekend

While I've been excited to post about this long-awaited event, I'm hesitant simply because my feelings on the happenings of the last few days are so strong and so positive that I want to record them well so that we remember just how smoothly and perfect everything went. As I have taken time to journal for myself, I realize that the details I want to remember will have to follow in bits and pieces as the blog post would be endless. In the meantime, here are a few photos of our precious daughter and the wonderful weekend that was.

The lighting in our photos at the temple wasn't very good, but here's my family just before Seneca's sealing.

Our family being together and having so many wonderful events occur made this weekend surreal to me. It was evidence to me once again what a special little girl we have and that Heavenly Father's hand is very present in our lives. Saturday we had our adoption finalized in the morning and had little Seneca sealed to us that evening. Sunday Denten gave her a beautiful blessing and we enjoyed our family at our home for lunch before they all had to return home. Life is too quiet for me today as it often is after I've been together with all of our family, but I've also enjoyed the reminder of how precious our children are and what a complete blessing it is for me to be their mother. I am also incredibly grateful that Heavenly Father gave me Denten as he continues to be a wonderful, strong, caring father and husband who is involved in the lives of his family. It is fitting that this week is one to reflect on what we're grateful for as my gratitude is overflowing tonight.
