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!

MAY 13, 2012 -- MOTHER'S DAY

MOTHER'S DAY

Today was a nice Mother's Day.  Vernon is still in Australia, but they called and I was able to talk to Alison, Robert, Rebecca and Daniel!  They have had a great time in Sydney!  The others kids at home were easy going and it was a slow and relaxing day.  I taught the Young Women's lesson today and learned so much!  After church, I ran over to watch the final performance of "HONK."  It was very enjoyable for me to sit and watch my children, Benjamin & Bethany, perform!

With the travels of our family this May, I decided to purchase my own Mother's Day presents and then shared great "Thank Yous" to Vernon and the kids! :)  This "tent" will work very well with my 2 new camping chairs that I got for my birthday!  I am set for a summer by the pool with the kids and at girl's camp!  I have to stay covered and shaded with all the skin cancer problems that I have!




Probably, the most beneficial gift I received with a quick medical response from my doctor/stake president and his wife.  I finally realized why I had been so dumpy all week and had slept so much during the day -- every day!!!  Dr. Bradford called me in a prescription for a yeast infection and life has gone upward and improved ever since!!!
