Lincoln's Sealing and Blessing

Lincoln Michael Bird was FINALLY sealed to his mom and dad yesterday! It was one of the very coolest things I have ever seen! My friends Heidi and Mike Bird have adopted their two kids, Kenedy(3 and a half) and Lincoln (16 months). Unfortunately they have had to fight for a while with Lincoln's birth father to get custody and they finally were able to settle at the beginning of August! We are so excited for them! To be able to see that sweet little boy with his mom and dad, sealed forever with his family that loves him so much--was indescribable! I have never seen two little ones sit so still! They must have known how important and special this event was. Heidi and Mike are a witness to the wonderful opportunity we have to be with the ones we love the very most-forever!

I have known Heidi Bird for about a year and a half. I have learned so much from her. She is one of the most giving and kind people you would ever meet. PLUS all the fun, halarious and cute qualities she possesses! She's all around, such a cool person! I have watched as they adopted Lincoln and all of the things that go along with that; emotionally, financially, legally, spiritually. It is quiet the experience--I have learned so much from being able to see life as a mother from her perspective. She is so grateful for her children. She is a wonderful mother and a wonderful friend. She and Mike deserve the best! They are the cutest little family and I am so glad to know them and to see these wonderful events unfold.

Here are the only two pictures that I got out from the afternoon.

This is Kenedy, Lincoln's beautiful big sister. She is a hoot! And such a cutie!

Julia, Talmage and Porter. Kenedy was in this shot too, but she is so speedy she was out of it by the time I pressed the button.
