Some time in January Clark started talking about going to the temple, so with his bishop's permission we started to prepare him for his endowment.  He is such a good kid, we knew he was worthy, but wanted him to have the best experience possible.  He was so excited to go and so prepared to go.

We had a tough time setting a date.  My dream is that we would have all of his siblings there to share that special day, that we would have the experience of being in the temple with all of our children.  It was wonderful to mingle with them in the celestial room.  It was a miracle for us to coordinate this special event, but it was worth all the effort and sacrifice everyone had to make.  Part of the miracle was that Glenn was in a good place as far as his treatments were concerned.  That was a miracle.

It was so fun to see our children enjoy each other.  Lots of laughing, stories, and good old fashioned visiting.  They are in birth order in this photo, even though the photographer (Mike O'Niell) tried to arrange them according to hight.  Jeremy, Danielle, Erik, Seth, Heather, Kimberly and Clark! 

We had three of the spouses join us too.  Jeremy's wife Birgitta; Heather's husband Kirk, their two kids, Jack and Anna, came too; and Kimberly's husband Curtis, their children Baylee and Dillon, are aslo in the photo.  Thank you to all who came and all who stayed home so that others could come!  We are so blessed!
