I Did it!

I have to say I'm just a little impressed with myself - just a little, not too much. I didn't know if I was brave enough to really go skiing after 15+ years away from the slopes. But I went and had a blast and didn't break anything. ;)

My girls were so cute, they took good care of me. I even felt like I could keep up - with a little more practice. The day was perfect; no wind, a light snow, the sun peeking out now and then. Of course, we stayed on the easy to intermediate slopes but we did go to the top of Ray's all day. And, I could still walk the next day. That's what I call success!

I celebrated my birthday this week. The celebrating started on Thursday and didn't stop until Sunday - The best of all my presents was nerf bullets - Let the Battle Begin.

I got a ski day from the kids and Jer. I feel nervous, I haven't skied for too long to think about, but I'm working hard to get ready to go! I look good in my new parka and hat, if I do say so myself! If I chicken out on skiing at least I'll look good in the lodge!

Family Pictures

I thought I'd post some of the family pictures we had taken in our back yard. These were taken earlier this fall. We really have a great family.

I may be getting on top of things at work....does that ever really happen? I may be kidding myself. Yesterday I taught my last class for the year and I have 2/3 of the computers on the central server - how did that happen? Now if I can just get it together at home. I'm working on that.

We had a great Halloween party this year. We actually had 10 (really!!) tricksters. The most we've ever had. Thanks neighbors for dropping by.
