"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?"

Some around town fun!

We've been out having fun (and dragging Justin's mom, Joyce, along)! Here are some recent pictures!

Down on the Seattle waterfront:






At the Aquarium:





Chloe taking Grandma Joyce to see her kindergarten classroom:


And at Kindergarten Noodle Night:


At the Cougar Mountain Zoo:

Cooper not being happy about eating dinner at Taco Time after a really long day:

But getting to take pictures himself to help cheer up!
