"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?"

Laughing...

At the pregnancy ticker on the side bar of the blog... I guess I've run out of time and it's decided that our baby is one day old. Ha! I wish I were so lucky! Chloe was born at 38 weeks and Cooper at 39. This stubborn little girl has now seen her due date come and go... She has to come out eventually, right?!
