"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?"

A sweet Chloe moment

After church, as we were eating lunch, I asked Chloe what she learned about in Primary today. She answered that they talked about prayer and got to write down three things they were thankful for and something that they want. The something she wants is toys, which was not suprising. Then she told us that she was thankful for her brother, her sister (ahhh), and her cousins. I admit it melted my heart a little to hear the part about her sister!

And then she later told us that she can't wait for her sister to get here and doesn't want anymore brothers!
