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!

JULY 9, 2012 -- WARTS AND SHOPPING

JULY 9, 2012 -- WARTS AND SHOPPING

Today I took Rachel and Mason to the pediatricion for the "beetle juice" for their warts.  Mason must have picked up something during our trip around the world last year and he has had clusters of warts on his upper outside thigh and bottom on the left side of his body only.  Rachel has a large one on the top of her ring finger knuckle.  Rachel had hers frozen but Mason got the "beetle juice."  
Afterwards, we went "healthy shopping."  We had a fun trip to Ozark Natural foods where Rachel AND Mason had fun pushing the little grocery carts.  I'm not sure who was having more fun -- Rachel or Mason!  We also loaded up on produce at Harps Grocery store.  For dinner I cooked a whole chicken in the electric pressure cooker, roasted potatoes and carrots in the oven and used some left over brown rice and cooked up a spontaneous dish using thyme, red pepper and pumpkin seeds.  It was pretty good.  The roasted potatoes were the biggest hit!!!  Every carrot and potato was eaten!!  All I did was toss them in a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and some Italian Seasoning.  They were delicious!

Mason showing off his bandaid -- no "owie" just a cool bandaid.

Mason has his bag with 4 things in it -- very important that there are just 4 things!!!
