Sledding!

Sledding is the best part of winter! And there aren't many good parts. The best part about it is not flying down the hill or crashing at the bottom, it is hiking to the top again-- and the reason being is becuase, by the time your three and a half year old has climbed a hill twenty times they come home and sleep for two and half hours! And we really do have so much fun!

Sunday

I love Sundays. I don't know if I could make it without them. I know the weeks that I have to stay home from church with sick kids or we are horrendously late and I miss the sacrament that there is just something missing from my life that week. Most of it is peace. And in a lot of ways I just need that re-commitment to living the gospel and constantly striving to be better-- which can be so exhausting if there is no replenishing. I especially love Sunday music. Matthew ( my missionary brother in Japan) gave me a CD before he left by James Conlee called Sunday. I love it! And also the Mormon tabernacle choir one "love at home." I simply can not imagine raising my family in this world without the sustaining influence of the gospel in my life. I am so blessed.
