The Hearing when Kya was adopted - will be unforgettable for me. The feeling of love, relief and gratitude was tangible. Family love. Even the Judge was teary and personable. The attorney was crying with joyful humble tears throughout. Really I doubt there was a dry eye in the room. The spirit was so strong. We all felt a beautiful peace and comfort and love there. The Judge had her go up to where she sat and allowed Kya to use her microphone for the questions she asked. Kya was so sweet and confident. I think a precious moment that is etched into my mind is when it was all said and done Kya along with her parents Chad and Amy were asked to stand and could turn to all of us seated behind them. Kya turned into Chad and was sobbing. Amy encircled them and the 3 of them together - it just seemed like we were so blessed to be able to witness such a tender moment. Then Mia and Eli joined them and now this family was complete! This pic above is this moment!
That Kya has got a smile that lights up her entire face.
At Grandmas Sanners home after Kya's baptism and confirmation! Another special day for her!
At the Winter Quarter's Temple for Kya's sealing! Yet another special day for her and her family!
Attending the Winter Quarters Temple will not be as likely anymore...considering our new Temple district will be the Kansas City Missouri Temple!! I have fond memories of this Temple. I am sure we will return someday...I hope.
All the family headed to Jimmy Johns for lunch after we were at the Temple.
Our boys travelled so well and we didn't regret bringing them along at all.
Wade actually said that he was SO glad that the cousins and rest of the family there
could be together - That we did the right thing coming as a family. I'm thankful too!
