Last Saturday we got to go to the Adelaide, Australia temple and have Ben sealed to our family. I loved that we were surrounded by not only our parents, but the room was full of missionaries who we've come to know and love. One of the most joyous experiences of the day was watching Ben explore the sealing room as we all waited for the sealing to begin. He was dazzled by the chandelier and to the enjoyment of everyone there walked happily around on his shaky little legs just as content as can be to explore this new place. I can't even begin to describe the happiness and love we felt toward this little guy as we watched him, he really did light up the room. One of the main reasons we wanted to come to Australia so badly was so that our parents could be at the temple with us to share this happy day and we are so grateful we did!
