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!

FEBRUARY 2, 2013: DAD'S MAPS!

DAD'S MAPS
FEBRUARY 2, 2013

  Dad has been dreaming about these big wall maps for many, many years.
He finally ordered them!!  Each map is made up of 3 panels that we hung with wall paper paste.  Thanks to my experience of helping my brother-in-law, Joel, hang wallpaper, I was able to help us successfully secure the maps to the wall and even line up the panels fairly well!
We did laugh a bit about the Lucy episode where she and Ethel were trying to hang wallpaper!!!  We hoped we didn't recreate that hilarious episode!
We have the USA map on one wall and the World Map in our family room!
We love them!!!!  It was a great investment!


We moved our big family picture to the sitting room so that it could be a focal point there and the map went in the family room.
Preparing to hang the world map! Not sure what dad is doing, but ......
