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!

FINAL NAUVOO PAGEANT POST -- JULY 2013

FINAL NAUVOO PAGEANT POST
JULY 2013

So I promise, I think, that this is the last Nauvoo pageant post.  I went through the picture CD that they gave us of all the pictures taken at the Nauvoo Pageant by the official pageant photographer.  I make a collection of pictures that included someone from our family and other pictures that had meaning to us.  It is a LONG post of pictures, but I want them recorded!
I will try to tag who you should look for in the picture!!
Good luck finding them!
