Really it's been over a month?

It has been well over a month and a lot has happened. We have had Christmas and school break and with that brought a sickness to the house that the girls and Tod got. I am still not liking the smell of BARF!! The girls have always hit the bucket or the toilet but not this time. It was on their beds and the worst was the floors. It still smells and I have tried everything.

Our Anniversary was among the festivities and Tod was sick so it was cereal and soup for supper. How romantic was that! But to make it up we are leaving in 3 sleeps to go to Mexico to Celebrate our 15 years.  On the 3rd of January I took the kids to Rabbit Hill, to go skiing and snow boarding. Oakly boarded and the girls and I took to the ski's. I have not skied in 3 years, this was Aspen's 2nd time skiing and Avery's first time. I was very nervous with my thumb that I opted out of poles, do to the fact that I couldn't hold them.  Avery thought she was invincible and would not listen to me so after a few hours on the Bunny Hill, we rode the chair up to the top of the hill. She looked back at me once smiled and she was off. Ski's pointing straight and so was she, she made it down half way. All I could see of her was her pink jacket and a blur of brown as she took to rolling down a good portion of the hill. When I got to her she was just turning on the tears. I told her that's why you don't go straight down a hill. She didn't go back on the chair lift for a while, do to practicing her stopping and pie making practice on the Bunny Hill.  She now wants to hit the slopes every weekend! Maybe it will be Snowboard lessons for the girls and mom next time, so we can keep up with Oakly! It was a great day!!
