Ski Babies

The kids have 2 weekends of skiing under their belt and are loving it! The first week they had a private lesson at Bogus Basin and this last weekend we headed to McCall to ski Brundage for a couple days where their new skills were refined by their parents novice advice and sheer repetition and practice. They love it and we love seeing their personalties come through in their skiing. Reese is calculated, skis under control, and is very interested in learning new technique. Nash is all adrenaline. He says, "bye Dad" at the top, heads straight down the mountain, and then aplogizes at the bottom for having gone too fast. We're so proud of how well they're doing and are enjoying being able to do a winter sport together.

A Visit from Grammy and Bompa


Buddies

Nash had a playdate with best buddy Elias a couple weekends ago. Big sister encouraged them to play dress up and worked her magic.

Christmas in Montana

We had a wonderful Christmas in Montana. All 5 of us - Lilly included - made the long haul to Billings and were happy we did to spend Christmas with family. The kids were especially happy to have a white Christmas and see their grandparents. While there we did plenty of sledding followed by special treats at the coffee house and went to a really great indoor waterpark.
