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!

APRIL 11, 2014 -- MASON'S "NEW JOB"

MASON'S "NEW JOB"
April 11, 2014

Dad took Mason to Wal-Mart the other day to spend his $.53 cents that he had acquired and Mason's eyes were opened to the wold of "stuff" that is available if you just have some money to pay for it!

Shortly after he arrived back home, I found Mason sitting here on the floor with his hat opened in front of him.  I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I am sitting here sad so that people will give me money!"  I asked where he got that idea from and he said, "I saw it in a movie."
One of the kids gave him the idea to make music or perform to encourage people to drop coins in his hat so he got this little water bottle and began blowing out tunes.
Later, it turned into a dance routine.  We, of course, pulled down our penny mug and dropped pennies in his hat!  He earned about $1 today!
