"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?"

--Winnie Dalley; Ensign, March 1998

Halloween Night

Justin took Chloe and Cooper down the street trick or treating. Justin was dressed as the Planter's Peanut, Cooper as the cutest Dumbo you've ever seen, and Chloe as a clown. After they got back from trick or treating on our street, Chloe and I went out and she drug me around the entire neighborhood. It was fun to see her so into trick or treating! Overall, we had a really fun Halloween this year!


The front of our house:


I guess we didn't wipe all the pizza sauce off of Dumbo's face!


Back home with lots of loot!

Yes, I just posted a whole bunch of posts to "catch up" from the time while our computer has been down. We got a new computer this weekend and I'm putting it to good use!
