Sundance

Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Our family had access to a home at Sundance, and we were thrilled to go and have some family fun together.
The leaves were just beginning to change color, and, as usual, that meant taking some family photos.
The seven bedroom home was gorgeous, and just the right size for all of us to hang out in.
It felt so good to have my family around me, and to feel the love that we have for each other. It was a very healing experience.
This is the entrance to the beautiful mountain home we were privileged to stay in.
We took the ski lift to the top of the mountain and the scenery was absolutely stunning. I could simply not believe that such beauty exists so close to where I live, and I had never seen it until now.
My mom was able to come and join in on the fun. We were so glad to have her there with us. We all love her so much.
This weekend was extremely special, because the previous week, we almost lost Jaron. That experience had us shaken, upset, and emotionally drained. So to come to such a peaceful, beautiful place was just what we all needed.
I believe in miracles, now more than ever. I know that it is a miracle that Jaron is still here with us, and that God watches over his children and helps them through their challenges and trials.
Life is so very precious. It is a gift from our loving Heavenly Father. He loves us more than we can possibly understand or comprehend. I am so thankful for the gift of life, for my family that is always there for me, for friends who are so concerned and supportive, and for those who worked so hard to save Jaron's life. I can never say thank you enough to all of them, and to my Father in Heaven for all he has done for me.
