SNOW SPRAY

My brother was/is very proud of himself.

Day @ Solitude


My brother and I went skiing at Solitude on Saturday. He hadn't been skiing in a long time, since he was probably 12 or something.  He did amazingly well, or I'm just that good of an instructor. Can't wait for him to move out here so we can go more and get our kids skiing together.

Typical night

Measure Max

My mom made this measuring board for Max and brought it out to us when she came for Max's 1st birthday. We sort of forgot to measure him on his birthday, but we finally got around to it the other night. Max was more interested in trying to get the camera than he was in standing up straight.

Karla & Rick visit

Our friends Karla & Rick came out to visit. We took this picture just before they left for the airport, so I'm not exactly sure why Max has such a big smile...

Big top party

Max had his first birthday party today! He was super excited and was so happy that for those that made it to help celebrate, but missed those who couldn't make it. The underlying motif was a circus, but due to the weather we weren't able to provide the elephant and tiger petting zoo we had hoped for.
