Let's Celebrate!

TODAY marks 6 months since Stefanie placed Olivia in our arms.

.

I remember our first family home evening after we returned to Virginia with Olivia. We always start with a children's song Dustinn sang growing up:

.

.

This is the night we’ve waited for;

Always a treat we have in store!

We love each other more and more

With ev’ry fam’ly night!

Stories and games for ev’ryone;

Learning the gospel can be fun!

.

[then I felt overcome with emotion and couldn't squeak out the next line]

.

Father and mother, daughter, son,

Together on fam’ly night!

.

.

What do you call the feeling, when you you suddenly realized that the blessings you've been praying for, wishing for and working towards are here?
