"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?"

Lazy, relaxing Sunday
Due to the weather, church was cancelled today. That left us with nothing to do except hang out at home and enjoy (most of the time) each other's company!
I love the view out the windows. The windows themselves leave little to be desired- they are old, single pane glass and my children leave face prints and hand prints on them multiple times a day!
We were married on October 19th, 2001. We have an eight year-old daughter, Chloe, a five year-old son, Cooper, and a wild two year-old little girl, Piper. We live in the Seattle area and love our sometimes boring- but always laughter filled- life.
