Abundant Life: Fun with the Sohs

Fun with the Sohs

We were so thrilled to Katie (my niece) and Princeton (my brother-in-law) come for a few days on New Years as Katie was getting ready for a new adventure as a BYU student.

Princeton is so genuinely interested in the kids and they really responded to him -- even Leah lit up when he was nearby

I don't think Sarah has ever practiced so willingly as when Princeton would come in to listen to her

Katie is so much fun. The girls are going to love having her around to give them a hard time

We also had really fun visits from the Blacks, Bethy, Kim (yummy macaroons to prove it), Bry & Candice, Kev & Kristina, the Johnsons, and the Conovers. Somehow I don't have those documented in photos though. Undoubtedly enjoying myself too much!

Yeah, those Sohs have a special calming influence. It's sort of amazing. I love the human burrito shot. :)

Make up your mind to be happy-even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well-to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by. -- Joseph B. Wirthlin

When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. --Wendell Berry
