"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?"

Cooper's Party

We celebrated Cooper's birthday on Saturday at Dizzy's Bus Stop . The party was a lot of fun and went much smoother than I anticipated! I wasn't sure how a bunch of 1.5-2.5 year olds would do playing together (well, parallel playing near each other), but the kids all had a blast! A great big thank you to all of our guests!
