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!

JANUARY 28, 2013: HEADQUARTERS HOUSE TOUR

HEADQUARTERS HOUSE TOUR
JANUARY 28, 2013

We had a treat and were given a "personal" tour of the famous Headquarters House. We gathered several families together and met for a tour by a local woman who works to get youth involved in the history of Fayetteville and has started a "Heritage School" workshop week in the summer.  One of the gals in our Young Women is a part of it so she helped out with the tour, too!!
We heard some neat stories about the Tibbetts Family and their courage to stand up for this beliefs in freedom and support of the North.  Ultimately, they had to leave their home for their safety during the Civil War.






Annaliece is our friend!
