Wasn't it just yesterday that Alex and Rachel were on the bunny hill learning to ski? Can't believe it but Sophia is learning now. She still had a little bit of a cold so I was trying to convince her to stay inside with me and Halmoni while Papa went skiing with the older girls. She thought that was a terrible idea. She persisted and ended up skiing the afternoon away. Poor Papa....his back was aching. She is scared of Papa letting go of her so they go down together with her between Papa's skis. She's just getting used to feeling how skiing is suppose to be but doesn't stop or know how to turn on her own. After each run, she would say, "Again!". And Papa would complain about his back. I laughed a lot. (also, that black sled in the background is ours. We need it to load it up with all the ski gear and pull it to the ski hill. It got stolen!!! So we had to walk back carrying all the junk! We prefer to believe that some family 'took' our sled by mistake thinking that it was theirs. So we are going to get another one and write our name all across it. Enough ranting.)

Papa and his aching back. Sophia all smiles.
It looks like this was an apres ski snack. In truth it was a before ski snack. It took us so long to get ready to get the kids onto the hill. The older girls feet had outgrown their ski boots. So we had to replace the ski boots and then get the bindings adjusted on the skis. It took SO long. I lost my patience at the ski guy (he said it would only take 30 minutes! but it took almost double that). Then I found out he is our new neighbor up at the ski hill. Crap!
Chocolate cookies and hot chocolate. Healthy!
Apres ski play date at our place.

so you were sipping your toasty hot chocolate, laughing at your cold, aching husband all afternoon?!? ha ha ha...
crazy that your girls are that advanced! maybe you should put them in competitions!
Joyce, I wish! I would have loved staying inside with a warm drink. I was suppose to have a couple of hours to myself but James begged me to come with him to help. Which means that I helped him carry all the load. Then watch over the load (which obviously I didn't do a good job because the sled got stolen). And then help bring the kids back.
I wasn't watching over the sled(s) because I was too busy watching where the girls had gone to on the bunny hill. So I froze my buns off on the hill for hours. Rant rant.
Pretty sure that WAS our sled!!!!
