The Year So Far

Regular blogging has been tough for us these days - there's a lot going on!  But, here's a recap of what we've been up to the past few months...

We started the year with a trip to Florida to cheer Elliot on at his first Disney Half Marathon:

Were you hoping for a picture of Disney World?  But look how happy everyone was on the plane!  Ok, fine:

We knew Lucy was going to have a blast, but we didn't realize what a hit it would be with Griffin.  He napped well in our baby carrier and LOVED all the parades - there was lots of baby kicking and arm flailing to the beat.

Having gotten a little sun and warmth, we stuck around the Northeast and took Lucy skiing for the first season:

4-year-olds on skis are pretty adorable.  My favorite moment was when Lucy, having made a few good snow-plow turns, straightened our her skis, shouted "Here we go!" and started barreling down the mountain.  Fortunately, she's not big enough to outski us yet, so we were able to nip that in the bud pretty quickly.  (As an aside, I am sporting my new ski jacket in that picture, having finally retired my 1996 high school ski team parka this year.)

The kids both had their birthdays in February, so we now have a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old:

Griffin is really coming into his own, and it is incredible to get to know Lucy as her personality unfolds before our eyes.  We feel very fortunate to have such a rich life.
