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!

SEPTEMBER MISC STUFF 2012

SEPTEMBER MISC STUFF 2012

Wow! September came and went really fast and I didn't blog a bit!  That is a famine for the feast that I was maintaining through the summer!
Here is my attempt to come back and keep it going!
I really want to keep a consistent blog and then create a "Family Yearbook" using the website Blurb.  It looks like something I would love!

 We started back to school and then I left for Utah to help get our kiddos settled there.  Hyrum had all ready left and had marching band camp for a week and was in heaven!  Pictures of him coming later!
I loved spending the week with our adult children in Utah.  They just get more and more fun as they grow up!  What a treat they are to be with!!

Back at home, we started homeschool with Rebecca and Rachel and started some fun things. As we cleaned out the basement storage, we came across our fish tank from Kansas.  It has stored without breaking for about 7 years now!  That should be some sort of record for a glass fish tank.  Rebecca took the opportunity to learn how to set it up and to get some fish!


Mason remains our cute entertainment.  This is a little dog that he was playing with one day.  It was his friend and when we went to run some errands later in the day, he forgot it at home and he cried and cried.  It was so sad for him. :)




















One other day in early September, Mason found a container of leftover white chocolate chips.  Next thing I new, he was quiet and content and when I found him this was my sight!




Wait!  Don't take my chocolate chips!


 A fun thing for Dad is that he got a new, top of the line Apple laptop! 
He is spoiled -- but deserves it for all his hard work!!!
