"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?"

We're baaaack...

My posts have been so few and far between for the past year, I don't think anyone really noticed, but I've had our blog set to totally private for the past few months. I'm ready for it to be available again, so here we are!

We've been busy, busy, busy and having lots of fun. I even just turned a year older... mixed feelings on that, but I was happy for a reason to celebrate with family!
