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 16, 2013: UTAH TRIP FOR ABIGAIL'S SPECIAL DAY

ABIGAIL'S BABY BLESSING
JUNE 16, 2013
We arrived home from girl's camp and scout camp and in about 16 years, we were on the road driving to Utah to share a special day with Robert, Alison and Abigail for Abigail's baby blessing in Provo, Utah.
It was a long all night drive, but it was so worth it!!!
