JT was honored at a recent school assembly for being a great example of one of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profiles. Fortunately, everyone was home to attend and Haley even took off the morning to attend the assembly. It was a surprise award but JT saw us in the audience, so he knew something wasContinue reading “IB Award”

E2 Singapore
I got a little behind on posting… probably because I have been gone so much in the past three weeks. Three weeks ago, I took a day trip to LA for work. Then on March 9, I left for an eight-day trip to Singapore for my favorite event of the year, E2. It’s when 300+Continue reading “E2 Singapore”
A little work trip
This week, I had two meetings for work that needed to be face-to-face instead of over Skype: one in Cherry Creek, Colorado, and the other in Long Beach, California. I was able to schedule them back-to-back to minimize my time away from home, and it was a whirlwind trip! I left late Monday night andContinue reading “A little work trip”
Weekend Away in Wenatchee
Jim and I planned a ski weekend sans children way back in October or something… and it finally arrived. Our dear friends Katie and Carl joined us, and we had sooooo much fun! We arrived Saturday afternoon, went to dinner, and then hung out at the hotel laughing and catching up. Sunday morning we hitContinue reading “Weekend Away in Wenatchee”
Haley’s Doll Party
Haley was invited to a friend’s house for an American Girl Doll/Valentine’s Tea Party over the weekend. These sweet girls have become friends at school and they had so much fun together (and so did the moms!).
Skiing in the Sunshine
Jim had to work on Saturday, but that didn’t stop the kids and I from heading up the mountain for the day. The weather was gorgeous and the kids improved so much during the day. They learned how to ski on a little bit of ice and we spent the whole day on blue/intermediate runs,Continue reading “Skiing in the Sunshine”
Crystal Mountain Weekend
I have been skiing at Crystal Mountain for maybe 30 years or more, and I’ve seen the RVs lined up in the parking lot. We always thought it would be fun to stay the night right there on the mountain. This past weekend, it happened! Jim took Friday off so we could prepare, and weContinue reading “Crystal Mountain Weekend”
Our First Camper Trip
We scheduled a close-to-home, one night stay at a nearby state park for our first overnight in the camper. We are learning lots of things like propane management, condensation management, and storage management and it seemed like playing it safe was a good idea. We had so much fun! We even took the bikes withContinue reading “Our First Camper Trip”
Haley’s Haircut
Haley has been asking to cut her hair for well over six months… maybe a year. She thinks it would be easier to brush out, style, and it won’t get in the way at gymnastics (critical). Even in a ponytail, sometimes her hands land on the ponytail and that’s not good. So we talked aboutContinue reading “Haley’s Haircut”
Family Ski Day
I’ve been waiting ohsopatiently for my knee to be ready to get back to snow skiing, and the rest of the family has gone on Saturdays without me since Thanksgiving. January 20th was the day! We got a little later start than planned but the relaxed pace is worth it. We stuck together in theContinue reading “Family Ski Day”
