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!

APRIL 18, 2013: A FRONT YARD SURPRISE and ROSES!

A FRONT YARD SURPRISE and ROSES!
April 18, 2013

When I drove up to the house one morning after some errands, I was surprised to find this!
Next to this very large truck in our muddy yard, was a young man who was very apologetic and felt so badly!  I felt really bad for him because he had to call his boss for help and explain how he had driven his big delivery truck into our yard!!!  He said his hand slipped and he missed the turn of the cul-de-sac.
A mess.  We were grateful he came back that evening and added topsoil to fill in the big ruts he had made. :)


Today was our last cake decorating class for Level 1.
Today we learned to make roses and a couple of other flowers and then had to frost and decorate a 2-layer cake!!!
Since we had 5 cakes of that size, we decided on several families to drop them off to.  Here is the cake we brought home for us -- we forgot to take pictures of the others!
