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: RAINED OUT REHEARSAL REPLACED WITH ENRICHMENT SESSION

RAINED OUT REHEARSAL REPLACED WITH ENRICHMENT SESSION
JULY 2013

Our or our first days to be on the stage was rained out and we were able to have a few extra hours!
This allowed mom to get some laundry done and the kids to sleep in!  We then met at the junior high and had a great enrichment session on the music of the Nauvoo Pageant.  It was so interesting!  Did you know that the pageant music is based on 15 hymns of the Restoration?  

Here are a bunch of pictures of our "Green Cast Friends"
