In a Robert Frost poem?

We woke up to the most gorgeous, serene white wonderland, and nearly seven hours later, it's only just stopped snowing. What a treat for us (though I do hope we get home easily tomorrow) who have not seen much in the way of snow for the past couple years. The boys are in heaven, especially when told they'd be going sledding today. Waaaah!?!?! T and I took them to the Kidz Club before treating ourselves to a workout and massage. I cannot even tell you how good both felt, and I'm now enjoying a cup of tea, quietly, whilst watching the snowy landscape move gently in the wind outside. It is unfortunate that my nose is running like a faucet but not as unfortunate as having been up most of the night because I was so stopped up I couldn't breathe unless I sat straight up. Blimey. But today has thus far been rejuvenative, and I know the boys have had a ball at their day camp. I miss them and we'll go pick them up soon.

In the meantime, I was able to snap these lovely landscapes as T drove us around, stopping whenever I exclaimed over a sight. Sweet man.

Really fun fam vacation

Despite the fact that T and I seem to have been struck by a recurrence of the crappy cold we've been battling for a month now, this trip has really been fun so far. There's not much in the way of food news to speak of, sadly, though I'm grateful we brought all we did: homemade blueberry muffins and fresh fried Amish slab bacon this morning were a treat! We also brought some freshly ground coffee and our moka-pot from Italy (stove-top espresso maker) so had two nice lattes as well. We taught Jack to play Clue (still such a good game) and then headed off to the slope. Literally one slope. Totally OK- we had a ball. The kids did a great job in ski school, and for T and me, it felt like old times. I think it's so important, especially once kids come along, to do things as a couple that help you remember how you once were. It's easy to focus on just getting through each day, tag-teaming your way and then crashing into bed each night utterly exhausted and spent. So this morning was really nice. Then I took Jack for one last run, we had a quick lunch, I sent T home to tend to his headache, and the boys and I played in the arcade. Skeeball is such a fun game, as are those road races where can drive like a fiend, hitting walls and bus stops be damned!

Great day on the slopes
