We got to tend Lilly for 4 days while Jessica, Justin and the 3 older kids went on a vacation to Legoland California. She is such a fun little girl. She is talking really well and she let us know what she wanted. Once in a while it was frustrating when we couldn't figure out what she meant. They brought her crib, and the first night she cried most of the night for her parents, but then she was fine. She loves to eat, and ate everything we gave her. We took her for walks, played lots of toys with her (her favorite is the old Fisher Price farm we have had for 40 years), watched "Land Before Time" a few times, went shopping for new shoes and clothes & a new pillow (she drags her old one around everywhere and it is full of holes), played outside in the rain, played dress up, etc. It was a lot of fun having her here by herself.
Calder Family Forever - August 16th, 2014
Today was a very special day for our family. Jessica, Justin and the kids were sealed in the St. George Temple for all eternity! Jessica took out her endowments on the 14th. Scott and Luann came down, and went with her. I was her escort. It was a dream come true for me as her mother. It was a very spiritual day. Today, we had Beth & Dave , Mike & Carolyn, Scott & Luann, Heidi Jo & Dave, and some of Justin's family there in the Temple with them. I know Justin's mother was there in spirit! They were sealed in a beautiful sealing room off of the Celestial room. After they were sealed together, the worker brought the kids into the room. Seeing them all dressed in white, and kneeling together brought tears to my eyes. Lilly looked like a little angel. She had an experience that I won't share here, but it shows how close to the Lord little children are. They came outside and had pictures taken on the beautiful Temple grounds. Then we all went out to dinner to celebrate. As a surprise, Jessica & Justin told the kids they were going on a trip for 4 days. They took the 3 oldest (we kept Lilly) and went to Legoland in California.
