Ella's temple day was supposed to be calm & peaceful. Llllllong story short? It wasn't. Forgotten paperwork (Joshhhh!!!), a crazy wife in crisis trying to stay non-violent in the temple (Lizzzz!!!), and lots of family members & temple workers trying their darndest to make sure things worked out. And? All's well that ends well, and this was a particularly sweet ending. Our sweet girls were finally brought to us in the temple, where we were sealed. Our loving family has been faithfully at our side since this longing for a family began. And now we have more than we could have ever dreamed of. Though all of these photos are beautiful, my favorite is the one that we didn't know was even being taken... and it is my favorite because I remember exactly what I was thinking at that precise moment... "My sweet husband, we finally have our forever family".

Those are some awesome pictures. How did you get both girls to smile in so many pictures? I especially like the solo shot of Ella sitting in the chair leaning against the arm. Hope you guys are doing well! -Matt-
