"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?"

The First Day of First Grade!!

I can't believe Chloe is a first grader! Time is just flying by! She was excited to go to school this morning and was even more excited when we got there and she was the first in line to wait at the door of her classroom! She is in a K/1 split class and after a line formed behind her, one of the kindergarteners came up and stood in front of her in the line. She was quick to tell the girl "you have to go to the back of the line" (not in a mean way) and made a motion to the end of the line with her thumb. It was pretty funny! Here are some pics from this morning:



"Ok Mom, enough pictures, lets go!"

Posing in front of her classroom door, just like her dad did as a kid! Room 33!
She was excited to see that her buddy Evan is in her class again this year!
At her desk!
Name tag on, time for mom to leave!
