I have a child that will not go outside when the sun is shining and the temperatures are up there, but give her a little snow and lots of cold and she won't come inside!!!  Saturday we spent hours sledding at the park with a friend, then her friend came home from school with her today and they spent hours outside sledding at the house and digging holes in the mountains of snow!!

Ice skating really was a good fit for a child that feels no cold!

At work today people were talking about what they give up for the new year, I asked why they have to give up anything?  Can't we start the new year thinking about things we need more of and have our resolutions follow along?  What about more family time, more exercise, more enjoyment of the little things or maybe more education!!  Aren't these things just as important to work on as losing weight, or giving up an addiction, or spending too much time on the wrong things?  I think they are!!  Lent is when people come up with things to do without!!  This year we are looking at the things we need more of!!  Our family will definitely be trying to improve ourselves with this years goals, but they will be more positive with what we need more of!!!  I know all of you need more of something, please tell me I'm not the only one!!  What are some things you all need more of?
