ahhh, what a nice winter break!

Wow! I needed that. It has been an amazing 2 week winter break. I think Natalie would agree, we both needed that time off of school. One of the amazing perks of being a teacher is getting those breaks. :) We were able to get so much accomplished in the house, and have so much time to have fun together.

One of the major projects that we were able to complete was the nursery. This was something we had been planning and keeping a secret for a while. It looks so awesome! I couldn't have asked for anything cooler. It's full of bright stimulating colors, and fun elementary child type sketches.

I was able to get 4 days on the mountain. All four days were spent at the Beav. One day I even had 5" of fresh pow to ride in. Mostly beautiful days, a couple of them were very cold. Here's to looking forward to Spring Warm weather riding, with lots of fresh snow.


We also got several good days of snowshoeing. It is such an amazing feeling floating over snow covered meadows on snowshoes. Great exercise and a beautiful way to be one with nature. It's especially cool when the only tracks going across those meadows are from animals. We even got out on the snowshoes with Torrey and Alana one day. And last but not least, we are both excited about continuing on our journey to parenthood! Nervous... maybe a little :), but definitely excited! Ready to embark on a new chapter in our lives. Thanks to all of you who helped make 2009 so wonderful for both of us, and hoping 2010 is even more glorious!
