"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

This one's for you, Great Grandma

We finally got rid of the old swing set we inherited with our house last year. The fact that when she swung on it and it would sway left and right just made me a little too nervous. So we got creative and decided to build a new one and Halle was sooo excited.

Here they are getting ready to build it. The slide is fun even without the swingset.

And here they are working very hard. And no, we don't let Halle use the saw in case you were wondering. We still aren't finished. We were missing some parts to make the lower platform that allows her to climb up to the top. But apparently ladders aren't included in her "fear of heights" list because she climbs all the way to the top on her own.
