"I need to marry my Daddy in the temple! And he can give me flowers!"
I think Brad's heart melted into a puddle when she said that.
So, what could we do? Our little girl wanted to go to the temple, so we went to the temple. (Explaining on the way that she can't actually marry Daddy. She has to grow up first and find a really good boy to take her to the temple. "But," Brad promised her, "When you get married I will give you lots of flowers.")
The temple grounds were full of beautiful flowers. We had a nice evening stroll around the grounds, counting the many blessings that a temple marriage has brought to our family.
In other news, I have it from numerous sources that our Leah is the most beautiful baby ever seen in these parts. One lady at church came up to me and said, with a hint of exasperation in her voice: "Babies just aren't supposed to be that beautiful! You really have beautiful children."
Sometimes I don't know what to say when people say stuff like that. Do I pretend I hadn't noticed how cute my kids are even though I wholeheartedly agree? Or do I just say thank you in my most humble voice? Usually I do the latter.
So, here is our beautiful baby (even though I don't think pictures do her justice).

Oh so sweet! I just love when the most precious things come out of the mouths of babes! Leah is a very cute baby! I love her smile!!
The story of Lainy and the temple is so precious! Isn't it amazing the little testimonies they already have at this age?
Leah IS beautiful! Maybe I'm not very humble, but when people tell me how cute my kids are I can't help but say, "I think so too!" Ha ha. :)
PS I love the post below this one. I have days like that too (a lot) and those quotes are great!
