After receiving Alice’s postcard from Arizona, Janie wrote a letter back to her. She got to use Mama’s stationary too!
Motor Development
At Samuel Merritt University (where Mama went to graduate school), the kids were invited to be a part of a motor development class. The instructors work with Mama and the other participants were are buddies Hudson and Henry (Auntie Teresa’s kids). They did a great job performing in front of a giant class of PT grad students.
They demonstrated various gross motor skills and it was great to have kids of different ages (7, 6, 4, and 3).
Peanut’s Day
While Janie was at Jasper’s house, Peanut was home with Dada. They went to the car wash and had lunch at Chipotle. He also had a swim make-up but cried when it was time to go because he had fallen asleep in the car.
After then picked up Janie from Jasper’s house, he was so happy to see her.
Day with Jasper
It’s President’s Day and Janie was invited over to Jasper’s house for the day.
Looks like they had a busy day filled with playing inside and outside.
One more day!!
This morning, the kids were up early and starting playing right away. They’re so cute with their matching pjs and bed head.
We also made one more trip to Soda Springs for a morning to rides before heading home.
We went straight to the green runs and had a full morning of snowboarding.
Peanut figured out a new way of sliding down the mountain and we laughed the whole way down.
We later met up with Zoe and Maya on the other side and the kids had fun going down the bunny slopes together.
Back at the Cabin
Back at the cabin, Zoe and Maya had arrived and settled in. We had dinner together and then played games before bed.
The kids wore matching Christmas pjs and Janie even read stories to everyone!
Soda Springs
We were up early and got ready to go snowboarding!
The cabin is so BIG and the kids got to explore a bit before heading out.
Today we hit a milestone. We all went up the ski lift and rode down a green run together as a family!
Janie also went down a green run without falling or stopping for the first time!! What a great day we all had in the snow!!
By the time Mama and Janie were done with their last run, Peanut fell asleep in Dada’s lap. He was beat!
SNOW!!
We drove to Tahoe this evening after school/work and arrived around 10pm. The front of the house was covered in snow and Dada had to dig our way in while the kids were asleep in the car.
Mail!
Janie got a postcard from Alice today! She went to Arizona. How fun!
