Winter Extremes

We went to a hotel with some friends to escape the winter blues and cabin fever that sets in during February. We had a blast and Lily even enjoyed some time in the pool. When we first got Lily, she hated to take baths. Since then, bathtime has become a highlight of her day. So we thought she might find swimming enjoyable and she did. We played in the pool for almost an hour with Lily. The other kids spent much more time in the pool being thrown around and showing off.

Today was a beautiful day. Fresh snow with temperatures in the mid 30's. This is Lily's first day out in the snow to play. You can tell by her face how much joy she got out of the experience.

Gabbie, Will, Max (and Dad) built this HUGE snowman. This was followed by an equally huge snowball fight.

Check out Will's extra big smile - He lost another tooth today!

Ski Trip

Grandma and Grandpa took the grandkids (and parents) skiing last Saturday. Here are a few of the pictures from the winter excursion.

Thanks Mom and Dad! Matthew and Sarah did great. It was their first time skiing and they owned the hill after a few runs.

Nice AIR, Will!

Max and Sarah warm up in the lodge.

Say Cheese???

Here is one of our first attempts at a picture with all four kids in it. It is unbelievable how hard it is to get all of these beautiful kids to look at the same place at the same time and pretend to be happy about it.

Who is going to help me with my hair?
