"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?"

Five!!




Cooper turned FIVE last week!

 We had a small party at Chuck E Cheese for his birthday.  Just cousins and family friends.  It was very laid back and relaxed... just my style!


 Piper and her BFF Keri saying "cheese!"
 Fun for the whole Duncan Family! 
Cooper with all his loot!  It looks like a small toy store!
