Welcome To The World Our Sweet Lilly Leann ~


Adorable Baby Lilly Leann
Yesterday at 8:23 am a very sweet little girl entered the World. Just a few moments of holding her reminded me of how much I love each one of the children that we brought into the World and then our posterity of 31 grandchildren and now two precious Great Granddaugthers. As we held this  brand new little one fresh from Heaven in our arms;  we knew that she had just left her Heavenly Parents to experience earth life.
In The Family: A Proclamation to the World states the following thoughts: "In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God......".

Hi LeAnn!

Oh my goodness, she is just beautiful! And, she named after you - what an honor! Congratulations to Jessica and Jed and little sister, Jadyn! I know just what you mean, I can feel the presence of the spirit each time I hold a new baby in my arms - they truly are straight from God's arms to ours!

Hugs and Love,

How darling Lilly is! Everyone in the family looked so happy holding her. I really loved the look of Jayden holding her, two sweet little girls.

It's so exciting to have great grandchildren. We have five and each one is wonderful.

So glad you got such wonderful pictures of her. Congratulations to all of you.
