"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?"

Kickin' back and putting my feet up...

Ok, maybe just one foot.


(oh, and that yucky looking stuff on my other toes is iodine)

And, because there is no rest for the weary... or rest for moms, even when they've had their toe worked on by a doctor, here is Chloe working on her homework while I supervised and helped from the couch.

How is your foot doing?

Foot is fine. The doc didn't end up doing the *really* painful procedure I need... This was just a warm up! I'll go back at the end of April, after we're settled back in from our trip and have the ouchy stuff done.
