Here's Michael loving his new Angel Moroni "action figure Santa put in his stocking, while sitting on his new tricycle Santa brought. Wow, that Santa sure knows what this kid likes!
Moroni quickly became part of all of our family activities. Here he is on the Christmas breakfast syrup. Note the paper plates. We had already packed the dishes.
I think Sam looks great riding his new trike around! He was so excited about it and ran straight to it that morning.
Here we are reading the new kids' Old Testament stories together. Sam demanded his hood be on all day long, by the way.
This was our 2nd to last night in DC. We went to my nephew's wedding reception and Josh stopped by the temple on the way home. We went to this temple on our honeymoon. When we decided to try to have the boys we came here a lot and had special experiences that gave us hope and strength. We will miss it for the familiar faces we see within its walls, but . . .
Tonight we took the boys to our NEW temple in Sacramento and it is beautiful! I felt the same spirit there as I have at the Washington temple and we look forward to finding a good babysitter and going inside! 
This video is hard to see, but it's Michael saying goodbye to the temple. He just loves it there! Yesterday I told he we would be going to see it and he was awake in his crib talking about the temple for a long time. We are really enjoying ourselves out here!

I love that the temple is such an important part of your family...the angel Moroni "action figure" is classic and I love that they get so excited about going. I can't think of anything more I'd love than to have my children understand and love the temple!
I didn't realize that Santa's elves made Moroni action figures! That's great that they have such a love for him and the temple. Sounds like you're getting settled a bit - I'll call ya this week to see how everything's going!
Oh, so so so adorable.
Way to raise a couple of temple-oriented kids! So very sweet. I'm glad you are finally getting well, settled, and adjusted to the new place.
I am so happy to hear good things happening and no vomit! I am excited for your new adventures. Moving can be so difficult and draining in so many ways until you find the swing of the new and then you get invigorated. I am looking forward to all sorts of new fun things from your new home!!
