Busy little Lady Bug

Trying to catch our breath and pull our thoughts and emotions back in order with all the events of last week. It was plenty busy but couldn't have gone better. On Monday, both Shan's family and my family gathered at the County Courthouse for the finalization to be settled. It was my first real experience in the court room in front of a judge and even though we were there on good terms, I found myself a bit nervous. Thankfully Layla kept her cool and continued to charm us all with her bright eyes and beautiful smile. Everything seemed to go without a hitch.


The masses of our Utah family managed to gather for a quick photo. Moments before, the kids were running wild through the courthouse.


On Saturday, our family and a few of our closest friends joined us at the Temple as Layla was sealed to our family for time and all eternity. It was another wonderful and very emotional event that couldn't have taken place without the the love and support by numerous friends and family from Utah to California. There was definitely a unique spirit that accompanied Layla the entire day. We're so very grateful to all of you who have supported and shown your love for Layla, over the past six months. We are very blessed to have you all in our lives and love you very much.

After the ceremony we had a photographer take a few photos of Layla and the family. As soon as we get them we'll post them up here.

Layla sends her love.
