I already posted about Riley reading and now she made other HUGE strides at school! On Thursday she climbed ALL the stairs on the playground by herself!! Twice! Her sweet teachers were there to catch her, film it and cheer her on of course! I have watched the video at least 432 times and cried several! The best part of the video is Riley's sweet face just beaming with joy from her accomplishment and her sweet teachers encouragements! Her insurance is currently not paying for physical therapy because she wasn't progressing fast enough on the stairs. Now she sure showed them!
This hero of a girl just can't be stopped!! I'm SO proud!
Then we had a different kind of miracle last night!

The incredible Sarah Berry took the girls baptism pictures outside the Temple last night. After all the posing, and trying to get Riley to smile for the camera, Keagan was so anxious just to look inside the Temple doors. So I took the girls to the front doors and was going to let them look inside since they are not nearly old enough to enter and haven't been thru the process to receive a recommend to enter. They peaked inside with more wonder and amazement then ever! But then two sweet men who were standing at the recommend desk when you enter, motioned for the girls to come inside. So I took my babies, who were dressed in all white for their baptism pictures, inside the Temple! They have never been more reverent or more in awe! Everyone inside was so sweet and soft with them. We were ushered to the non-patron waiting room where the girls were congratulated on their baptism by our current Mission President and his wife. Keagan wanted to sit on the couch and read her Book of Mormon! Sweet girl. We had a little talk about making good choices and keeping the commandments so that when they are 12 they can come back and go in further!
The only problem was I was dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt and felt unbelievably uncomfortable as I have never been in the Temple in something other than dress clothes. So we did leave after 5 minutes. But it was such a beautiful 5 minutes! Both girls were so excited that they had been inside the House of the Lord! It was a miraculous experience to be there just at the right time and one I hope the girls keep in their hearts forever! I know I sure will!!
