    Hittin’ the Slopes

    It took 12 years of friendship and 5 years of being together before Andy and I finally went skiing! Skiing was something we both really enjoyed in a past life- it just took us that long to get our act together. I blame jobs, babies, houses, etc. So we broke the streak and headed to Windham Mountain in the Catskills for a weekend away. It was awesome to spend a little time just us and dust off the old ski boots. I must say, I think we did pretty well. No falls and some decent form coming down the hill. A respectful showing most definitely.  

     Here’s hoping it doesn’t take us another 12 years till we do it again! Oh and coming home to the little man is pretty awesome too!

    Make funny faces through the glass to pass the time. Endless amusement!

    Winter storm Jonas

    30 inches of snow brought DC-NYC to a screeching hault! I don’t remember the last time this much snow fell in one storm. The up side- it all happened on a Saturday and it was a perfect excuse to hang out, put up our new tv and be a little lazy. The downside- we totally didn’t pay attention to the accumulation before it was too late. I was up at 4:30 am this morning trying to shovel us out. Between Andy and I, the John Deere and out pure determination not to be bested by the snow, we plowed ourselves out.  

    We shovled a path for the plow the whole length of our driveway. Ones driveway never looks so long as when you move 30 inches of snow. Oh- did I mention how sore we will be tomorrow?!

       We look Andrew out for only a few minutes since he’s still recovering from Pneumonia. 10 minutes to get dressed to go outside, 5 minutes outside, 10 minutes to take all the clothes off again.  
        
        
       He wasn’t sure what to make of everything. Hopefullyy next time we can use the sled more and he’ll love it!

    We knew we’d get snow. We didn’t think we’d get this much snow. It’s been coming down for 20 hours and it’s almost as tall as Andrew. Little guy has no idea what’s going on.

    Another first. 2016 is starting off with a bang for this guy. A trip to the doc and chest X-ray confirmed; Andrew has pneumonia.

    FaceTime! 

    Andrew loves to FaceTime with people….or he loves looking at himself. Either way, he enjoys a good chat!

    Observing the snow outside for the first time. Little does he know what’s in store for us at the end of the week!

    You’ve got mail! 

    Andrew’s ‘mailbox’ at school. I don’t know why but this totally makes me smile!

    Who knew wearing a hood and running through the rain at the Whole Foods parking lot could lead to uncontrollable laughter?!
