Let it Snow!

I have been in the Boise Valley for almost 16 years (wow!) and have never seen this much snow, ever. The other night driving home I couldn't stop grinning. I love snow, although I bet if I was in Sandpoint I'd be bitching like the rest of them. They have an amazing amount of white stuff and it just keeps stacking up.
Yesterday was a great day - Te and I got to drive the big truck around to do errands then we came home to work on our snow/fort slide combo. It was so refreshing to remember the happy emotions of my childhood when I would spends hours outside building, rolling, and playing in the snow. It is wonderful when one can connect with nature and connect with their own childlike qualities that make you realize that life is good - all the stress and headache of everyday life really is nill - it is so material. And we all know materials can be stripped off! So, when it snows, the sun shines, the birds chirp, etc. remember to let your child self resonate so you can really tap into the moment. It is all about the moment, of being present, not about what happened or what is going to happen. Find peace where you are now.

Te's photo debut

Boo got a new Vtech kidizoom digital camera. I didn't edit any pics and the ones with him in them are photo ops he requested. Obviously some images of myself I do not find too visually appealing but so be it. He can only get better with time - so the beginning of hopefully a productive photography hobby at the least. Also note that the right side of the image gets slightly cut off cause I do not want to redo my layout for the blog. Some pics are from the Zoo and the animals might be hard to be deciper so, so you know what you see: snow leopard, prairie dog, python snake, red panda - perhaps not all in that order. Cheers.
