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!

OCTOBER 31, 2013 -- HALLOWEEN

HALLOWEEN 2013

We had a great week of Halloween!
We carved pumpkins and it was great to watch the kids do it all!
We have had pumpkin pancakes, homemade root beer and our 
first annual "Spook Stew and Witch's Brew" Halloween Party and Family Dance!
'Twas great fun!
This was our first year to move on beyond our tradition of crazy "Trick-or-Treating" and the big "Candy Count!"
