"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?"

Princess of the Week

The week of Halloween, Chloe was the Princess of the Week in her kindergarten class. With this prestigious title, comes activities revolving around her each day at school. On Monday, she brought in a poster full of pictures all about herself and she shared it with her class. On Tuesday, her classmates each made a page about why Chloe is special and those pages were compiled into a book for her to take home. Wednesday she got to bring a book from home to be read at story time and also brought a special snack to share with classmates during the story (she brought kettle corn). On Thursday, Justin, Cooper and I went to her school and ate lunch with her. And then on Friday, she invited Justin to come talk to her class about his job. Chloe had such a blast as Princess of the Week!
Here is Chloe introducing Justin to her classmates. I was holding Cooper and trying to keep him quiet, so I didn't get very good pictures.
