The Barons in Seattle: Double Trouble

"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?"

Double Trouble

My brother and his cute family FINALLY moved back out here to Seattle and Chloe and Cooper couldn't be happier! Up until now, we haven't had any cousins that lived around here! After dinner last night, Cooper and Theo climbed up on a chair and were conspiring to turn the lights on and off. It was really funny!
