San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue.

Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more.

We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.

 It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.

 We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.

We ate at Mesa Rosa on Friday night since some of the family members were wanting some Mexican food, and this place is nearby. These lovely women sitting by my husband are Debbie and Brenda, his two younger sisters.

 Here are Julie and Mom, remembering the Alamo.

 Hannah is here with Kelly's parents sitting on a bench outside the lovely temple.

We are amazed at how well Hannah has adjusted to her new family, new surroundings, and her English is blossoming so quickly. We are very proud of her and love her so much. She's such a good girl and we are grateful to have her in the family!
