The Glue That Binds Us Together

A picture of all the house guests while we were in Arizona. Thanks to Eric and Courtney for providing such a wonderful hotel! (And thanks for letting me steal some pictures from your blog.)


And the reason for so many out-of-town guests (besides the fact that we all love and adore the AZ Winters)? The Saturday after Christmas we all got to go to the Mesa Temple for a very special ceremony. Born halfway around the world in Ukraine over two years ago, and legally adopted this past summer, Ella has experienced many red-letter days. And December 27th marks another important one-- the day Ella Katerina Winters was spiritually and eternally sealed like superglue to the rest of the Winters clan. She is now officially part of their (and our) "forever family".

I realize now that I did not take any appealing pictures of my parents, nor of Eric and Courtney. I would apologize, but such is life. They haven't really changed much over the past year anyway. I also didn't take a Cambrie-only picture that's flattering, but I stole one.
