"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?"

Memorial Day

A few pictures from our afternoon of kite flying at Gas Works Park in Seattle. Not the best quality because they are from Justin's cell phone and the sun was so bright-- not complaining about the sunshine though!
(not flying a kite in this pic-- I was sitting with Piper, but I figured I'd include my smiling face in this post!)


Chloe with the Space Needle in the background

Piper looking adorable, as always. Don't you just want to eat her up?!
