| Last complete family prayer for 18 months |
 |
| Starting the goodbye's... |
 |
| ...never complete without tackling at the Bloomers |
 |
| We are just so awkward...always! |
 |
| Starting the tears |
 |
| More tackling... |
 |
| ...and tenderness |
 |
| Katie wakes up from all the commotion |
 |
| Mikayla playing her song for the last time...making me cry! |
 |
| We're a touchy feely family, we are... |
 |
| ...awkward... |
 |
| ...but very touchy, feely! |
 |
| Miss Katie...so dear already. |
 |
| Can't ever have too many goodbye's |
 |
| Wednesday morning on Temple Square |
 |
| "Looking towards the temple" |
 |
| An interesting perspective |
 |
| Our feelings exactly! |
 |
| Beautiful inside and out |
 |
| "If I have to take one more picture..." (I only took 189) |
 |
| This always takes my breath away |
 |
| "Touching the temple" |
 |
| A daddy and his girl--no words |
 |
| I wonder where my children got their peculiarities from... |
 |
| Driving to Provo |
 |
| At the Provo Temple grounds |
 |
| Only a Bloomer, set apart as a Sister missionary, would try to climb a baby tree on the temple grounds... |
 |
| How do you "reprove betimes with sharpness", laughing through your shock? Very ineffectively. |
 |
| Driving into the MTC--Lines of Elders and Sisters waving. |
 |
| A lovely sister missionary meeting Mikayla at the curb |
 |
| ...and sweetly offering to take pictures even though we didn't ask and knew we weren't supposed to linger |
 |
| Excited, anxious, proud, sorrowful tears (only on the parents side) |
 |
| On the Lord's errand...and in good hands! |
 |
| The final goodbye |
 |
| A father's love |
 |
| Visiting Mindy afterwards--who made it all feel better... |
 |
| ...with love and the Spirit in her home and chocolate... |
 |
| I want to be just like her when I grow up...if I ever grow up. |
