Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

So Natalie and I went out in the snow to play today. We finally got some snow falling this morning. Papa got Nat outside for me while I was getting all my gear on! The sled we're playing with was one that my grandparents gave to my brothers and me when we were little. Nat loved being outside and tried to crawl away from me on the snow. She's light enough that she didn't sink, but when I tried to get her I went into the snow...up to my thighs!

Travel, Travel, Travel

Well, Natalie and I are in Silverthorne, Colorado with Nana and Papa (Laura's parents). There is a lot of snow on the ground but we haven't seen any fall yet. I think it is suppose to snow tomorrow and Saturday. Papa has been skiing every day and says it is wonderful skiing and not many people are on the slopes. Nana has a broken arm and can't ski. I am not sure about my back so I'm not skiing either. Instead we are staying at home with Natalie in the mornings and then going shopping in the afternoons! We've hit the outlets 2 days running. Got Natalie a ski jacket and bibs for next year since everything is 70% off.

While we're playing in Colorado, Paul has been in Virginia. He's interviewing with JMU this week. He's having a good time seeing all of his old friends and professors at JMU. Although I think he is getting a bit tired from all of the traveling. He heads back to the Old Pueblo (Tucson) tonight. Next week he is off to Ohio and Capitol University. And we just found out that St. Francis University in Pennsylvania wants him to come out for a campus visit also. So it looks like another trip East for Paul.

I'll try to get some pictures while we are in Colorado and post them soon. Off to chase the Natalie!

Gymboree and Playing

Natalie had a great time playing at Gymboree.  We played with hoops, balls, slides and all sorts of other objects.  Natalie also loved checking herself  out in the mirror, climbing on EVERYTHING and playing in the boat with Jack.  We are definitely going to miss Katy, Keith and Jack when they move to Indiana in two weeks. 

We also bought Natalie a Fisher Price house last weekend on craigslist.  She loves playing with it. It has a doorbell that rings, you can turn on the porch light, the door and window open and close, and there are lots of things that play music.  She loves getting on one side of it and then having us lift the window on the other side.  She just cracks up!  The last picture shows her in her jeans jacket from the DelloStrittos.  It looks so cute on her I couldn't resist posting a picture of her in it.
