"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?"

End of the Season

Chloe's finished up her soccer season by playing a great game! After the game, her team celebrated with cupcakes (what five year old doesn't want a cupcake at 10:30 in the morning?!) and each player received a medal! Chloe is quite excited about her medal and after wearing it around for a few days, it has been lovingly placed on her shelf next to her t-ball trophy!
Way to go Chloe!
