families are forever

Saturday May 1, 2010 we took Zackary to the Washington D.C. Temple to be sealed to us for forever.  It was a beautiful day and an amazing experience that is hard to express in words.  There were a lot of happy tears and Zackary was so good.  Everyone at the temple fell in love with him.  I will never forget looking at him while he sat there with his little hand on top of ours!  I wish everyone could have this experience because it definitely gives you a different perspective about eternal families.  We are so grateful to have another member as part of our forever family!

blessing day

Sunday May 2, 2010 we finally got to give Zackary a name and a blessing at church.  Jeff did an amazing job and gave him the most beautiful blessing I have ever heard.  It was so special!  Zackary looked so handsome in his little outfit. 

After church we had a special dinner at our friends house and of course ended up at one of our favorite places...the beach.  Zackary loved the feel of the sand and kept squishing his toes in it.  It was so fun to be able to share the places we love with our parents and we are so grateful they were able to be here to share this special weekend with us.

After playing in the sand he needed a bath and this is what his hair did when we dried it.  It was so funny we couldn't help but take a picture.  He was so tired and ready for bed after a really long, but great weekend!
