"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Chloe's Walkathon

Two weeks ago, Chloe participated in her elementary school's walkathon during her lunch recess. She had lots of fun! On Monday of this week, she came home from school and told me that it was announced over the PA system during morning announcements that she "won the walkathon!" After a short question and answer session, I was able to figure out that she did the most laps of any kindergartener! She may be tiny, but she is a ball of energy!

Today she came home from school with a certificate and a gift card to Blockbuster. Chloe is very excited and proud of her award!

Way to go Chloe on "winning the walkathon!"
