"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?"

To prove we're still alive and kickin...

Here are some pictures from the park today! It was sunny and 50 degrees, so we took advantage and went to the park after picking Chloe up from school. The pics are from my phone, so they aren't the best quality! And I promise to start posting a little more often again!
