AZ Trip

You'd think by looking at my pictures that all I did was stare at this cute little boy the whole time:

And you'd pretty much be right! He was the reason most of the family was able to drive down and spend some fun time together in AZ (well, Holly and Chase were a pretty good reason too...).
On Saturday morning, Emery was sealed to his parents for time and all eternity. It was VERY special to watch. Chase's grandpa did the sealing and got all of us crying as he talked about what a special gift Emery was and as he thanked the birth grandparents for allowing us to have Emery sealed in our family.

Isn't he the cutest little chub-a-dub you've ever seen?!

It was SO fun to see Holly, Chase, and Emery and to be with the rest of the family on vacation- thanks Hol for giving us a good excuse to come visit again! However, I don't think I will be spending time apart from Richard again any time soon. I had to hold back tears quite a few times on our trip thinking about him being lonely back in Provo and how much I wanted him to be with me. And all I could do when I got back to Provo was give him the biggest hug ever and tell him never to leave me. Who knew it was so hard to be away from your spouse for even that little of time?! Maybe that's just another thing I'll blame on the pregnancy hormones... ;)
