The Barons in Seattle: June 2012

"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?"

--Winnie Dalley; Ensign, March 1998

Monday Morning

Justin works late on Mondays, so he goes in a bit later than usual. This means that our Mondays are slow to get going and it is a nice way to ease into the busy week! The little kids have been working hard, doing their kid job (playing) this morning and I've been trying to pick up the house a bit.

btw, I'm loving this blogger app... Maybe it is just what I need to get blogging again! Oh, and Instagram?! Love that one too! I'm meloneeb on there, find me! Can you tell I got a new phone that is much better than my old one (which met the fate of the washing machine)?
