Come What May and Love It.

Sometimes when life is not going exactly as you had planned, you just have to sit back and look for the joy that you do have. Last week, (and most of Jan) we may wish to forget, but then we would miss out on opportunities to laugh, and enjoy our "happy moments". So, I will share some of our happy moments. To remind me that life is not all bad.

Colton may have had an ear infection, and decided that that meant that he did not need to sleep much anymore.



But, then we would not be able to enjoy our new pearly whites... which seem to be a side effect of the ear infection/grumpiness.




Our basement may have flooded, and our lives temporarily displaced.



But then I would not have gone through some of our tubs in storage and found our beautiful unicorn-pegasus costume. (that we wore for Halloween when we were 2)



I may have turned 30 amidst all this.... but, that could not be helped.



Two of the doctor's that Mike will be working with next year sent us some flowers and teddy bears for the kids.... The flowers were beautiful, and were able to be a bribing tool for Halle.... ( I am so not above that.)



And Colton's new teddy bear's name is Rainbow.. and he is a boy. Thank goodness for sisters.




For some reason the video of Madison juggling pants would not upload, but it was very entertaining. She is super skilled. I will have to post some pictures of her new pierced ears. One of her birthday presents. She is 8 years old... I know. How did that happen. Kids are not supposed to grow up.

These are just a few happier moments from the last few weeks. See life was not so bad.
