Broken February Break

Our February break was a bit of a bust due to Cece kicking it off with a 4 day fever resulting in a stormy day hospital visit to diagnose ear infections and a UTI. Peter and I both battled colds (his eardrum burst from an ear infection and my ethmoid sinus flared up for a couple of days), and said blizzard and frigid temps were a bit of a downer.

But despite our awful luck, the kids still enjoyed relaxing close to home. We even got out a few times for piano lessons with friends, sledding, and lunch at the fancy Scottish restaurant with friends. And we have high hopes that April vacation will be a bit warmer and more fun.

To the Mountains

We had a ski resort adventure with the Balls at Attitash in New Hampshire. I was watching a PBS special on John Denver and they mentioned that he wrote "Annie's Song" on a ski lift. I believe it- there's something magical that happens when you get back to nature even in the bleak chill of winter.

It was our kids' first time, and they loved it! We put them in lessons and they had learned so much even after the first day. I was able to ski the whole mountain with them at the end of the second day (the green runs).

Tell me that's not the cutest snow plow ever.

Cece loved the en suite ginormo bath tub.
