I love to see the temple...

That is one of Em's new favorite songs to sing, except when she sings it it sounds more like pimple.... "I love to see the pimple..." No dear, you won't love seeing those when you're ages 13-17. Trust. me.
But back to the temple... Last week our family went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House (wow, say that 5 times fast or slow...). We've been truely blessed to live in an area where we've had 2 chances to attend temple open houses. It has been a very sweet experience to go inside the temple as a family and always reminds me of the day Emmy was sealed to us.
As we were leaving the temple, Emma started crying and quietly said "I don't want to go. Please stay inside." I love my sweet little girl and the amazing spirit that she carries with her. I am in awe that even a 2 year old who is constantly running around and laughing is in tune enough to know that the Spirit was strong inside the temple that day and that is a place where she wants to be.
When we left we explained to her that we would be back someday to be sealed again as a family when she got a new baby brother or sister. She said "Sister please." Oh how we all can't wait for that day to come. Please come soon.

We enjoyed the open house too. My girls weren't so...um... spiritually minded, but we enjoyed it anyway. Hope you are having a good day.
