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!

2013 JULY: A LITTLE TOUR OF NAUVOO

A LITTLE TOUR OF  NAUVOO

With the pageant we are so busy that we haven't had time to tour Nauvoo ourselves.  We took some time after church on Sunday to see a few sights.
