"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?"

Gave him the wrong name...



I really think we should have named Cooper, Justin Jr. He is like a chubbier-clone version of Justin at this age.

And yes that is my backyard (and no we don't live out in the country- we live in the middle of the 2nd largest city in Washington). As much as I want to move out of this area, I'd sure miss the lush green-ness and tall trees!

that's so funny, we call Theo Junior all the time because he looks and acts just like Jeremy!
