BEAUTY AND... WELL, I'M NOT REALLY SURE

MOUNTAIN LIFE

IF YOU AREN'T CRASHING, YOU AREN'T SKIING

My babies skied for the first time last week. Miraculous.

They had such a wonderful time that I'll be going with them next time.

Looks fun, doesn't it?

THIS BOY'S LIFE

Levi is 7 years old. The night before the half week of celebrations I told him the story of the day he came to our family. How Maddy had an overnight with Zac and Dad and I went to the hospital. How Levi finally came ( after WAY too long) and Marianne held him while I fell asleep sitting up. How she and Daddy were crying and I was falling asleep some more. How G came to the hospital to meet him even though she had a cold so she chose to wear a hospital mask.

It really was beautiful. Even if you can't tell from this recounting.

Have a look at the boy and his peeps:

DISNEY-FIED

We return triumphant! Disneyland was our playground this past week. Delighted and exhausted kids are lazing about the house today, looking forward to another week of vacation.



Happy New Year to everyone!
