"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."

And Even More Snow Play

Our town had a Snow Fest this last weekend, so we headed over to the park and joined the fun. They had a bunch of fun activities, all free and run by volunteers - mostly from the college.

Halle loved the snow bowling and would have done it a bunch more times had there not been a line. She was so proud of herself for hitting the pins.
The city built up a big hill with extra snow piled from somewhere else.


It looked like a lot of fun, but we decided to find a less popular hill with a bit less traffic. Even though we were right next to the hospital, we decided not to chance it.
Even on this hill we had a few near misses, but managed to keep all the kids safe and still have fun.

And after we got done, still living the Hannah Montana dream, we packed our bags to go spend the night at Neal's parents house.


Puzzles were the big thing this time for the 4 year old cousins. Caleb is helping Halle do the princess puzzle.



And another princess puzzle that was pretty tough, but these three figured it out. Way to go kids. We were glad we could spend time with everyone that came to visit.
