There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

APRIL 27, 2012 -- LOST GALLON OF MILK



 THE LOST GALLON OF MILK
April 27, 2012

As innocent as a gallon of milk may look, it can be a deadly bomb if it gets lost in the floor area of a 15-passenger van!  As we arrived at the choir show on Thursday night, a lost jug of milk came rolling forward from under the bench.  It was bulging and quite a scary sight. I said, "We should throw that away before it bursts and stinks up the van."  Well, we got out, enjoyed the show and when we returned to the van and opened the doors, the kids were hit with quite a smell.  The bulging milk had sprung a small leak and had drained half the gallon onto the carpet of the van between the front seats.  It was bad!!!
We made it home and Dad was so good to get the carpet cleaner and we worked and worked on the carpet and it is better.  Next time, we count the gallons of milk carried into the house to make sure one isn't left behind!
