washington d.c. temple

we did wait for stone to get home from work but these stupid classes are sucking the life out of him & he had to listen to lectures & finish up a project. i don't know what we were thinking taking 2 at once. his average schedule lately has been going to work from 7 to 6, 15 minute break saying hi to us, dinner up in the office while we eat as a family downstairs, homework til midnight or 1. wake up & repeat. we are used to being busy but we miss him. we both get grumpy & it has been seriously terrible.

so we went sans the mr. to the washington d.c. temple.
























it's really nice only being 40 minutes from the temple. & this particular one makes me think of my grandma & grandpa kelly.
they served a couples mission here when i was around 11 & my family came to visit. we stayed with them over 4th of july & sat on capitol hill for the fireworks, toured the city, saw all the church history sites on the east coast, & visited the d.c. temple where they spent most of their time.
 clearly happy to be there. hahaha

 how awesome is this??
 & ellers was particularly excited about jesus. she kept sitting next to him & telling me his eyes were closed so he was sleeping & i needed to be quiet.


not that she's queen of reverence, 

 but she tries.

it was the perfect little trip up, showing steph & the girls the visitor's center & the grounds.
 & check out this shot steph took! straight from the camera it looks like this. exquisite!

Beautiful! How fun your sister was able to come out. When did Ellery grow up. She seriously looks so much older all the sudden. Sad, but she is so dang cute!
