Nauvoo with Smiths

We were lucky enough to see Nauvoo again, this time with Matt's parents and his brother and family. Mike and Taralie stayed with us Thursday, and then we caravaned to Nauvoo. Eve and her cousin really had fun playing twins.



It was good to see some of the things we missed the first time. Of course, the kids really enjoyed being with their cousins, grandparents, and the pool at the inn.





We also got to see Carthage Jail on our way to Nauvoo. I felt deep gratitude for all that Joseph and Hyrum sacrificed to bring forth the work of the restoration. I was humbled and felt the truthfulness and significance that he was our first Latter-day Prophet!

We love our family!
Here are some temple pics to close this post. P.S.- Sterling said (in all seriousness) that he is planning to marry a certain friend - here when he gets older. She is so sweet, how can I protest?

Hi Beckie! So fun to see your beautiful family. Hard to believe I met you before any of these darling children were born! Glad to know all is well with you!

You guys have lots of fun. Dave and I really want to visit Nauvoo together next Summer. Looks like a fun trip.

The pictures are beautiful _ especially the one of you and Matt standing in front of the temple.
