We've had amazing snow this year. The boys want to ski all the time. . . Jake does ski all the time, going seven times over the Christmas break. Craig, Evan, Sam & Icky went four times! I wish I could get Caroline excited about it again so I could have a whole day to myself once in awhile. I like to sew quilts while they are skiing. I have retired from snow sports because the cold gives me actual hives. I want to stay home by the fire.
The glorious day at Park City that this picture was taken started out a bit bumpy. Craig forgot Isaac's epinephrine (necessary to keep him alive if he eats a nut or a lentil or shrimp. . .). Craig made sure to know what all the first aid options were on the mountain. That ended up okay. Sam forgot his snow pants AND his ski pass. Craig made Sam ski in his pajama pants (which he normally wears under his ski pants) and they issued him a temporary pass for the day--didn't cost anything but the time it took to wait in line. When Craig was done solving this problem, he met up with Evan and Isaac. Apparently on Isaac's first run (Craig hadn't even been on a run yet) Isaac lost his pass. At the ticket window they made Craig buy a new one, so it cost Isaac $100 to ski on that day instead of $50. Most days run a little more smoothly. Thanks to dad for driving, paying and trouble-shooting.
No winter would be complete without a few sledding days at Mueller Park. This is Isaac with his friend Sam (Sam is actually older than Icky, though you'd never know). They had a fun time going off jumps.

Love your posts. I answered your questions about mine as a comment under your comment on mine. Thanks for the compliments.
What a patient daddy! Some of those ski trips become major work to have fun - the things we do for our kids. Those are darling pictures of your boys. I just love them.
We had so much fun hanging with them this Christmas. They make an evening very entertaining. I have to say we are happy to be back in the warmth of California. This has been a record breaking month in California. It has been the best January, it was 74 degrees today. We love it!
I also wanted to compliment your boys on their beautiful testimonies that were shared at Grandma's house. They are good kids. YOU HAVE DONE GOOD!!!!
