Finally Forever

On March 28th, 2009 at 9am, in the Boise Idaho Temple, the Lord blessed our family with another sweet, eternal member--our Noelle Joy. Our first forever family photo. That's good alliteration.

Noelle was coming down with a terrible fever and flu that hit the rest of us a few days later. But nothing was going to stop us from making her ours forever that day.

Sam and Noelle started hugging and holding hands spontaneously. We tried to get a good shot, but we weren't fast enough.
Noelle was giving everyone hugs and kisses over and over (more than usual) for the next few days. She was very aware of what this special day meant for her and for us.
Daddy's girl for all eternity. We love you Torrie!
