The Perks

Shawn just finished up a month rotation with a Sports Med. doc, and so to hone up on his casting he had two lovely volunteers. The girls thought this was super cool, and cried when they couldn't wear them to school, and again when the cast's were being sawed off.

Sundance skiing

Shawn sweet talked Grandma and Grandpa McManus into watching the youngens and so we headed for the mountain tops of our neighborhood ski resort Sundance.

The last time Shawn and I went skiing together was over 10 years ago, so with a bit of care we plunged right in. I tell you it was like I was 20 something agian. Until my knee started to ache, and the weather was a bit chill in the morning. We decided we liked the upper slopes, where only the black diamond slopes are found. And a few blue ez which we stuck to. We also found a favorite mogle slope that we finally mastered at the end of the day. We had such a great time, and the one continuing thought that went thru my mind is....we have got to get the kids up here and teach them this fun sport. I am so happy that Shawn and I got to spend a perfect day together.

With only one wipe out, guess who.

Love is in the Air

What a fantastic Holiday. This is a great day to express our

love and appreciation for each other, and in creative ways.

I LOVE my family and I am so lucky to be a part of them.
