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!

JUNE 1, 2012 -- HYRUM FLIES THE COOP & TOMATOES PLANTED


HYRUM, SOD, TOMATOES, PEPPERS AND TREES!

This morning Hyrum left for Ohio for his grand adventure.

Rachel and David helped me pick up a pallet of Bermuda Sod.  This was a bit of an adventure since I broke the clip off the tongue of the trailer while "rimmy jigging" it to the tractor mower to haul enormous rocks the other day!  We got the trailer on the van and then used the chains to secure it so it wouldn't bounce off.  Then I drove very slow, checking many times to make sure it didn't bounce off and drag behind the van!


 The kids worked outside hauling topsoil while I slept all afternoon -- I feel like I have been hit by a train!
A  head cold in the summer is no fun! 


We planted our tomatoes, bell peppers -- they really needed to get in the ground!

Rachel shows off our garden beds!
David is excited!!
