"Actually, a home is much more than a house. A house is built of lumber, brick, and stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. A house can be a home, and a home can be a heaven when it shelters a family. When true values and basic virtues undergird the families of society, hope will conquer despair, and faith will triumph over doubt." ~ Thomas S. Monson
Did I mention that this is one of my favorite families ever? They're pretty fabulous.
It feels like I have known them forever, and have watched their family grow in size and stature over the last decade. They're the kind of people who accept you as you are, always have the best advice, and that advice is always from the heart. Their company is always full of fun and laughter, and their kids have always been favorites of mine.
When I count my many blessings, this family is amongst the lot. ♥
