Trip South

Chris, Marshall and I spent last Wed. through Sun. down south visiting my family, watching part of the Tour of California bike race, and wine tasting. Unfortunately, Marshall was really sick one day, but he recovered quickly and we otherwise had a really nice trip.

Darcy and I had a nice visit at the race.

What road trip is complete without In-N-Out burgers?

Party Weekend

We had a fun filled President's Day weekend. Our friend Britt had a birthday and we celebrated with a family dinner out on Friday and an adult only progressive party on Saturday. Chris had Monday off, which was a treat. Marshall loved the long weekend with daddy.

We celebrated with Mexican food, can you tell?
Haley and Carolyn got Marshall into their hair accessory party.

Rock Band! Danielle on guitar, Mark on drums, and Chris singing lead (yikes!).

Marshall's 1st Snow Trip

We took Marshall to Sierra at Tahoe for his first snow visit. There was a ton of snow on the ground and lots of fresh snow falling. Marshall loved it! A huge thanks to my friend Aundria, who outfitted Marshall with the proper attire (and sled). It was a fun weekend overall: we stayed with our friends Anne and Josh in Placerville. They have have a lovely home and two cute dogs. Anne watched Marshall one day while Chris and I went skiing. We hadn't skied together in three years! Just like old times (including me falling down all day). Chris is already talking about getting Marshall into ski lessons.

January Photos

All continues to go well on our end. Aside from a little rain, January was an oddly warm month. We had temps in the high 60's, low 70's. Lots of playing outside, going to the park, eating frozen yogurt. Fun!

Ice cream is still a big hit.

Helping daddy with the trash cans.
The high chair is seldom used anymore. Kind of a bummer when spaghetti is served!
