"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?"

Soccer Season!

Yesterday marked the start of Chloe's soccer season! In true NW fashion, the months of sunshine and record-breaking lack of rainfall came to an end Friday night and it rained all night long! Chloe was not detered at all by the chilly, rainy morning and headed out to her game with a smile on her face! She had a blast and is happy to be playing soccer again!

All dry, in our front yard, ready to head out!

Starting to look a little soggy:

And afterwards-- wet, but still wearing a smile!
Thumbs up for the start of soccer!!
