This week I've been treated to views like this one:
... and this one too.
And, this one!
It's been a lovely, busy week of family and fun and we've been embracing all of it.
Becca was in town Tuesday- Friday to celebrate a late Christmas and early birthday with all of us. It was great to have her home. We made family time a priority and kept the celebrations going all week. Birthday dinner on Tuesday..
... out for ice cream on Wednesday....
We all enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm of this group of young women.
And-- a stolen afternoon on Thursday for Bec and I to share one of our favorite pastimes.
We conquered Boston Mills! Put some hurt on those hills... and those large beers at the bar.
It was a great day. I forget until I'm doing it, every time-- just how much I love to ski. The rush of turning to point those skis straight down the steep, the feeling of defeating fear, the wind pushing laughter back into your mouth as you speed downwards. Nothing like it. Especially on a sunny day, with my sister, after a large beer.
I could get used to this.
This weekend found us spending time with friends. We had the opportunity to celebrate Shabbat-- and eat delicious rice bowls-- on Friday....
Dinner with Melinda and Will on Saturday and then on Sunday a much-anticipated playdate with one of Ivy's new friends at school... which turned into a slime-making party. Look at those dutiful little stirrers....
We capped off the weekend with a visit to Edgewater. Doggy playtime in the field...
... and some magic by the water on this 55 degree January day.
This little girl, 14 week old, dipped her toes in the water and took a drink. She knows a friendly lake when she sees one.
Ice in the sunshine....
Happy New Week, everyone!
