"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?"

The Little(est) Gymnast

Chloe is still loving her gymnastics class and it is fun to see her progressing. Here are some pics from this past week:
Warming up:
Getting help from Coach Kelsey with her handstand:
Summersault on the balance beam:
Here she is jumping over the sponges on the beam:
Swinging on the bar and letting go with her hands when she is up in the air (swinging back):
