The temple is currently under reconstruction so it isn't white and is not lit at night. It closed a month before we moved here and will be closed for 18 months. Whitney is especially excited because she will be 8 for the re-dedication and will get to go. It will be neat to be able to be a part of the open house and dedication. We get to see the temple almost every day. It is a great daily reminder that we get to be together forever.
Hawaii weather is kind of funny. This particular day we walked to church and it was sunny and beautiful. About the last 15 minutes of church it started pouring rain. So we waited inside for 10 minutes or so after church was over for it to let up. It was barely sprinkling and we figured we were ok, but not so. By the time we got to the temple, it started really raining again and, of course, we hadn't taken our umbrella to church - it was sunny when we left! Instead of getting drenched and ruining my hair, which I actually had fixed, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to tour the visitors' center. It worked out perfect - by the time we were done, it cleared so we could take pictures and walk home dry. It has rained almost daily here since we arrived. It will be sunny and beautiful then cloud over and pour and then goes right back to sunny, dries out and you never even knew it rained - all in less than an hour. I love the rainstorms here - I just don't love getting caught in them with a baby, in our church clothes with no umbrella. We'll know for next time. I guess it is a lesson on being prepared BEFORE the rain comes.

That sounds like fun! And...you are such a GIRL:) In a good way... :) Even though it's closed, I love that you guys take time to appreciate the temple and instilling the importance of it to your girls. You are great parents!
I love seeing all the pictures. They are so pretty. i will have to get Aaron on here to convince him we need to come visit. It looks like so much fun. The pictures of her fingers are crazy- poor girl, she is so brave, what a trooper. They are looking really good.
That Temple is sooo pretty! The weather was just like that on the East Coast. One second fine and the next it's a flood!!! I'm sorry. At least you have an umbrella, we never had one so we would just get soaked! Not fun! How awesome that Whit gets to do to the Dedication! Fun stuff!
I just caught up on all the new happenings! TONS to blog about. I'm glad you're finally feeling more settled. (I even kept my eyes open to see the fingers! YIKES!) You are a tough mama for sure. Love you guys. We think of you often. Zack says HI!

That's how monsoon season was in NM, 100 degrees sunny, 4 pm would hit the sky would cloud over and it would dump rain!!! then the rain would stop, the sun would come back, and it would be a very muggy 100 degrees again. How exciting Whitney gets to go to the rededication!! miss ya!
