"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?"

Justin and Chloe at the Sounder's Game

Its no secret in our house that when it comes to sports, soccer is at the top of the list. While we go to Mariner's games and enjoy being at the ballpark, we've loved having a MLS Soccer team finally in Seattle! Not only are the Seattle Sounders a kick-butt team, but the games are super fun to go to. They are loud, fast paced, up out of your seat, cheer your butt off, exciting matches and the fun that the crowd has is just infectious!

Justin took Chloe to the Sounder's VS. Chivas match on Saturday. She enjoys watching the games at home on tv, but wasn't a fan of being in the stadium at first. The crowd is LOUD and it bothered her-- until Justin bought her a horn of her own! According to Justin, she blew that horn constantly and had a blast! I think Justin was successful at converting her to becoming a Sounder's fan for life!

Not so happy about the noise:

Having fun with Dad now!
