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 17, 2012 -- FATHER'S DAY & ALISON'S B-DAY

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND FATHER'S DAY
 Today we were able to celebrate several wonderful things!!!  Vernon (Dad) arrived home from his 2+ week trip to Ghana!  We are so excited to have him home now for the entire month of July!  We also celebrated Father's Day and honored Vernon and Robert!  Another special event was celebrating Alison's 22nd birthday!  She was born on Father's Day so it was fun to have her at home to celebrate her birthday on Father's Day!  We also celebrated Hyrum being home for a week!  We sure miss him all ready as he is working for the summer in Ohio!

This evening we had a great time looking through the pictures from Robert, Alison, Rebecca and Daniel's trip around the world during May and June. We then had "Mud Pie" for birthday dessert!
