"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?"

Six Years Old!



Chloe turned six on Saturday. I am amazed that she is six already, I don't know where the years have gone! She is such an intelligent, beautiful little girl. I can't imagine our lives without her.

In Seattle Baron fashion, we celebrated turning 6 in a big way! Chloe had a gymnastics party at the gym where she takes gymnastics. Chloe and eight of her closest kindergarten girl friends played games, jumped on the trampolines, and did an obstacle course. They then dined on pizza and ate cake (Chloe was the brain-child behind the funfetti cake filled with vanilla ice cream, frosted in purple frosting).


Here are some pictures from the party:


And after the party, opening presents at home with cousin Carter!
