january notes

Hard to believe the first month of 2018 is already gone. I started with a bang. I was a de-cluttering fool. And then we were all sick for a bit. So much so that Harkin ended up with bronchitis. The coldest days were here and we kept to inside for so long. The mountain even closed for a day so it was kinda crazy. We ran out of wood and were heating with oil for the first time ever.!

Then we got into a good rhythm. We worked hard at lessons most days and a few days a week the boys spent time on the mountain, either for fun or work in Will's case. I did not get to the mountain until the last week of the month. Twice though since we had a certain 3 year old who wanted to ski for her birthday. She had talked about if for months! Thankfully it was a pretty awesome day. Warmer temps and sun shining. We all skied together for the first time is so long. It was fun to see the big boys show us their tricks and then of course we had to do the terrain park and trees just like them. It was a fun day.

We seem to be staying home more often which I enjoy. We have so many activities and projects we can do and of course our big backyard.  I am looking forward to skiing more during February and March.
