Michelle's Wedding Trip Part 3

While we were excited to see Michelle get married, we were also so excited to see little Melody for the first time. It was nice to feel complete happiness and excitement at seeing her for the first time. Unfortunately when we met Elise for the first time it was at her blessing and I had miscarried the previous night. It was all I could do not to cry the whole trip. Needless to say, I wasn't very enthusiastic and didn't hold Elise much. Sorry to go all sappy, but I am so grateful for my Savior that suffered not only to pay the price for our sins but also that He might heal all our pain and afflictions. My heart is healed through His love, but not just healed, it is as if it was never broken. That is the miracle of Christ and His atonement.

Melody was born three weeks after Gavin, and I am so excited Gavin will have a cousin that is so close to his age. Thursday night Brian, Ann, Elise and Melody came over to visit! What a difference three weeks makes. Although Melody is just as long as Gavin, there was a big difference in body control and movement. I'm sure she'll catch up though. She is such a cutie and Gavin already seems to like her. We were able to see Melody one last time the morning we flew home. Launa had a brunch at her house and many of Jason's family came to see us...well let's be honest, they came to see Gavin! We have so many fun pictures from that little family get together. We love you all!
