Cutting it Close

We had the awesome opportunity last Thursday of being there when my lil sis, Whitney and her family were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It was such an amazing experience to see their little family become a forever family. They have a darling and very rambunctious 3 year old named Jerick (just 2 ½ months older than Easton) and Whitney was very pregnant! Whitney had been in labor and delivery a couple times the week previous, so we were thrilled that she made it to the temple still pregnant.
You wouldn’t believe this story if you read it in an Anita Stansfield novel, but it really happened. Whitney went into labor 3 hours after their sealing. They were sealed at 12:00 pm and Kennedy Ann Morrill made her entrance into this world at 9:50pm. Talk about cutting it close! Who can blame her for wanting to be born in the covenant? She is darling and has sooo much hair.

Doesn't Averie look so big next to her? They're going to bestest friends just like their big brothers.

What a sweet story. I wish them all the best with their new sealing and their new baby girl.

How fun! I love that story! I love that you guys have babies at the same time too, and the same gender even! You guys are talented to pull that off! I keep forgetting to tell you that I think I already did that tag you just did, when I first started blogging, I'll double check though! Thanks for thinking of me though, I tagged you on that High School tag I did a while back and forgot to tell you that too! You're welcome to do it, or not! I want to get together tons before I ship off to Ice Land/Logan

She is adorable...and looks like a little Guatemalan baby! I can't believe how big Averie looks. She'll catch up soon enough. Cousins are fun! You better start finding hubbies for your sister-in-laws so the kids can have some on this side of the family. :-) Love you! Mom

That is the sweetest story. How cool. They will forever remember that day as being extra special for 2 reasons.

Great day, great post! We are so very blessed. It's so funny cuz even though Jerick and Easton fight sometimes, they really are best buddies. Easton, "bye-bye Jer bear", Jerick, "bye home boy". These darling little girls are going to be the same way. (Of course the names will be changed to protect the innocent.)

Thanks for the pics. I thought the Morrils named the baby Lindsay. Suprise!!. She is very cute. What a great ending to a great day. I keep waiting for Homer to post something on his blog, but nothing yet.
