Atlanta Temple Open House

We decided to visit the Atlanta Temple for its open house to give our children the opportunity to see inside the temple. I (Jared) went to two temple open houses when I was growing up; I remember both vividly. We hopped in the car on Friday and drove home on Saturday. We went through on Saturday, the last day of the open house. It was lovely inside, as expected. The Celestial Room was radiant. It was a lot of driving but the kids did well and were placated with technology when they started getting really bored near the end of the trips.

Lily making faces (squinting in the sun).

Being on the temple grounds didn't stop the kids from running around.

Mom and Zach.

All 3 kids smiling at the same time (that's about as smiley as Anwyn gets); it's a miracle.

Zach recently had his second haircut. We think his hair gets lighter each time. It looked really white out in the sun.

It's a pretty temple.

Standing, cruising, and crawling but no free walking quite yet.

Lily was tired (and getting sick); she isn't sad, just pensive.

Anwyn doing what she loves to do - run.

Heralding the nations: "Come ye, to the house of the Lord!"
