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 4, 2012 -- INDEPENDENCE DAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

This morning we worked outside early while it was cool and then enjoyed our air conditioning for the rest of the day!  We made a huge batch of potato salad for our BBQ tonight and enjoyed watching a movie!!
This evening, we had several families over for swimming and a BBQ.  We had a great time!  Sorry, no pictures.  The Harvey, Morris, Waite, and Charlotte Fleming family came.  We didn't get to shoot off any fireworks of our own because of the "burn ban" but we watched several big shows from our deck -- the mall and a couple others we couldn't identify the source.  One of our neighbors shot off a couple of fireworks and the sherriff came pretty quickly!  We had such a nice evening!
