"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?"

Playing at the Beach!

Last night we decided to go to a great park not far from our house. The original plan was to walk around and play at the playground, but the sandy beach was too enticing, so we hung out there and the kids played in the sand for a while! You'll also notice Cooper's evolving clothes- he kept getting wetter and wetter and by the time we left, he was just in his diaper.

Luther-Burbank park on Mercer Island. It is right off the freeway, so its super fast to get to. It is a huge park.

That's a great beach. It was the first beach we took Jeremy to when he was a week old.
