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 21, 2013 -- TRAVEL TO NAUVOO

NAUVOO HERE WE COME!
July 21, 2013

We have been waiting for months and months to get to go to Nauvoo and participate in the pageant!  We have prepared through Family Home Evening Lessons, learning music and planning our meals!
The time finally arrived!!!  We left about 8:30am on Sunday morning.  
We took a stop at a park for lunch and let the kids get out some energy.
Everyone is SOOOOO excited!

Stephanie helped by "shaking up" the salad in the ziploc bag.  
OOPS!  It wasn't sealed tight enough and we had black bean and corn salad all over!!!
Oh well.  We still had some left to eat!

 Dinner!  Double Deckers, rice and salad
