I totally skipped Christmas…sorry faithful readers! 

Last weekend we went to Durango to go skiing- it was one of the best times we’ve had as a family!  It was especially wonderful  to see Jacob growing as a skier, and to see Caitlyn up on skis for the first time!  We look forward to many more times skiing as a family!

Caitlyn was so cute.  She thought she got to keep her skis- since Jacob has his own.  I told her they were rentals- like how we borrow books at the library.  It was cute.  Next year she gets Jacob’s skis and Jacob will get some new. He’s outgrown his first skis.

Wayne braved the slopes solo on Saturday, which was good, since he likes to ski scary stuff that I won’t touch!  Jacob was in ski school- aptly named “SnowMonsters”.  Caitlyn and I laid low- she was still recovering from an ear infection.  She and I were lazy around our suite all morning, met up with Wayne for lunch- and then headed into Durango for a little drive and of course, some shopping!  When we got back, we hit the so-called “heated” pool, although it still seemed pretty cold!  Wayne and I took turns between the hot tub (toasty) and the pool with the kids (not toasty).  The kids had fun!  We all crashed out early.

Sunday, we all decided to hit the slopes- Wayne decided to ski with me all day, which I loved- and he even thought I had improved since Christmas in California when we skiied at Big Bear.  Yahoo- I’m getting better!  Both kids went to ski school, and it was a special time, since it was Caitlyn’s first time on skis.  She was really excited, and I was really nervous for my baby!  She did great- and even went all the way down a beginner run with Wayne and I at the end of the day.  It was snowing hard, and she was so great! 

So, by the time we had to leave, snow was dumping on the mountain…Wayne and I wanted to stay one more night, but sadly we had to go back to work!
