Surrounded by Snow

hello all - sorry for the long silence. i hope to post some back logs, but even if that doesn't happen there will be more future posts as i'm home with lots of photo ops and easy internet access!

i returned to iowa this last thursday and have been having a fabulous time with my parents and grandparents. it's already snowed a couple of times and here are some pics of my mom's yard blanketed in snow. it's such a beautiful sight and it reminds me of the incredible power of our God. That he created this world and all it's diverse landscapes and climates. he could have made it all desert or all swamps - but he didn't and for that i am forever thankful!

keep checking in,

Ledges State Park

Kippin and I took an afternoon and went hiking at a state park near des moines. we had so much fun enjoying the sounds of the rippling stream, rustling leaves and chirping birds. And as always - awesome conversation! It's just so great when you get to do something you love with someone who also loves it! Thanks Kip for all the great memories from your visit :)
