We can't possibly thank you enough for visiting us over the weekend. It was a very special time well beyond what we expected. Last week I said it felt different after the judge made our adoption final but after yesterday we very much feel like Jonathan is part of the family forever. Mom, thank you for Jonathan's sweater too. It especially was good since it was chilly that morning. A few pictures from Denver Temple.

By the way, notice in the picture of brothers and sisters that several of us brothers are standing on our toes. We're not really concerned about altitude in our family... - Daniel

I was so glad I was able to go. Thank you Daniel and Connie for adopting such a sweet boy, and thank you mom and dad for letting me come with you! It was a wonderful experiance and it was great to see all the bro's and sis's. Thanks again everyone involved!!!
I will never forget this trip. The spirit was very strong in the temple and I am so glad I got to witness that. Being with all the brothers and sisters and Fath and Mom was something I have been yearning for...I know Im weird. Thank you Daniel and Connie for everything.
A few people have asked me if it was worth it to drive 13 hours to get there, only stay one day and then drive 13 hours to get home. The answer is YES! It was wonderful to be in the temple to confirm in the eyes of heaven our new grandson, Jonathan. And while we were sitting there, waiting to begin, Dad and I felt such gratitude that all our children were there with us. And the realization that all our children-in-law were also temple worthy touched our hearts and made us so thankful...thankful for them and also thankful to them for being willing to hold down the various forts so that their husbands and wives could go to be with Daniel and Connie at this important time.
It was a very touching experience to see all of Daniel and Connie's children walk into the sealing room, holding hands and big kids holding little kids. They quietly sat in the chairs reserved for them, and with 8 children under 16, that is an amazing occurance in itself. Then when Jonathan came in, he was a little bit confused until he looked around and saw his parents and brothers and sisters all waiting for him. You could see him visibly relax. He is a sweet boy and we are thankful to have him in our family for eternity. Thank you, Daniel and Connie. It was definitely worth the trip.
THank you Daniel and Connie for bringing us all together. The temple experience was incredible I know your kids will always remember the feeling they had there.

What an incredible experience. Thankyou so much for the opportunity to come and be with your family at such an important time. I love all of your kids, and Johnathan fits in perfectly, it's like he was made just for your family. I loved watching all of the kids look after one another. The bigger kids were all so patient and loving. What an awesome family you two have. Thanks for the great pictures. I had a ton of fun. I loved being at the hotel the night before, the food was great and the company too. I loved being able to help Connie with baths. My job was to put up Johnathan's tent. I left much to be desired, but what a good time I had. I love playing with the little children. Make sure Analyn doesn't forget my name, because we had to work on it a lot. I loved being with all the sibs, and I have to thank dad and mom for being so willing and patient with the 3 crazy sisters. (Notice I said 3) I am surely the only normal one :-). Every moment of the trip I will treasure, expect for the part where Mary and i got in a fight. Sorry Mary. It was past my bedtime. Thanks again to all involved.
love, Rebecca
