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!

DECEMBER 19, 2012 -- SANTA AND SINGING AT THE MALL

SANTA AND SINGING AT THE MALL
DECEMBER 19, 2012

So far, every year Mason has cried when we took him to see Santa Claus.
This year, we headed off to the mall to see Bethany perform with the Glee Club from school so we put in a little visit to Santa!   
Mason was excited and ready with his list for Santa.
He was requesting a "training wheel bike" and a "drink bowl."
He was focused and let everyone in line know 
what he wanted for Christmas, too!

What fun!!!
  Mason brings us all so much joy!!!!





Bethany was so excited for their little "tour" as a Glee Club.
Melissa, Rebecca, Rachel and I headed to the mall to watch her sing 
and to have lunch!  We also ended up chaparoning a group of girls to walk around
and shop at the mall for 1 hour.  It was a fun afternoon!
Bethany is on the back row, far left, with her mouth open singing away!!!


Lunch time!!!

Rebecca has been doing laundry for all of us and earning $.50 a load and it 
adds up!  Today at the mall, she spent some of her hard earned dollars and bought something she just couldn't live without!
Rebecca now is the proud owner of a $16 Justin Bieber electric 
toothbrush that sings to her while she brushes!!!  She loves it!
