February Break........Ahhhhhhhh! At last some time to catch up on things like my blog, taxes, skiing, spending time with my munchkin, watching the Olympics, and unfortunately grading. It seems as though it has been a whirl wind since my last posting. Ella is HUGE! She has a zillion words and of course her most commonly used word......NO! But my favorite word is "cotatoo" which means cockatoo.

Unfortunately we have all had kind of a "sick" winter. We have had colds and stomach bugs that have kept us from having our typical fun. But for Valentines Day we did get out for an amazing X-Country ski trip to Long Lake. And, Bobby has been getting the bean (we call her) out on the mountain a few times. We actually found her a little set of real skis and boots while we were in Denver a few weeks ago for Marah's birthday (see pics).

So, something kind of exciting.... we are thinking about building our house this summer (or next). We are excited and nervous. We have not sold our condo, but we could rent it until it sells. It is just a thought right now. We are getting some bids and drawing plans. I am sure that lots more has happened, and if I think of it I will come back and write it, but for now I am signing off. Enjoy some new pics.
