• Hi everyone. It’s been awhile! That means I get to recap 3 weeks. So… starting with 3 weekends ago … we took Zachary skiing again since it was such a hit last year. His friends came along too – they did well, especially for their first time! Unfortunately, it wasn’t such a fun experience for Zachary this year. He was particular about where he wanted to go and incredibly frustrated/fussy. After lunch, I went skiing myself, leaving James with the diablo. Despite being at a dinky ski resort (Soda Springs) I was challenged by their “black diamonds” (would be blues at any other resort.) I haven’t’ skied since before was pregnant with Zachary. The biggest bummer was that my new (and pretty pricey) ski boots were a tad too tight.

   

  The weekend after, my sisters came up from the Bay Area. They were in Spain for Christmas week, so we celebrated the holidays mid-January. We exchanged gifts, went shopping (for literally hours and hours), and played Rook (also literally hours and hours). I think Zachary finally gets the gift opening concept. Books need to be opened last though, since he always wants us to read them right away.

  

  

  This past weekend,  Dana/Dave invited us to dinner at a European buffet. It was so good – they had regular buffet comfort food (salads, roasts, pastas), but also Russian dishes! The ambiance was nice too – reminded me of Vegas buffets, classier than say Sizzlers. After dinner, we played Settlers at their house, where I lost terribly. On Sunday, went to a playgroup at a park. It was so windy, but Zachary had a blast running around outside, trying to keep up with the older boys.

  

  Last, but most important. I hosted a book club at my house this past Monday, where there was a very special announcement …. Yes, it’s true! After 6 years and 2 rounds of IVF … we have a mid-July due date. I am so excited for them - Congratulations Dana and Dave!
