Contrails and Concentrate


"Look Mommy! CONTRAIL!" "Contrails come from AIRplanes. Hannah Looooooooooove airplaines." The sky is the limit for your vocabulary, Hannah. Just the other day, you said to yourself, in the mirror, very deliberately, "Concentrate." Mom looked at me and we both raised our eyebrows and shook our heads, acknowledging it wasn't either of us that taught you that word. "Hannah, who told you to concentrate?" Mom asked. "CONNNNcentrate, Mommy. Elmo CONNNNcentrate. Elmo thinking." Every day, there are many little moments of contrails and concentrate for us to behold. Earlier this afternoon, you sang the entire alphabet song with me, and you also counted to twenty nine (thirty is still a stumper). When I walk in the door in the afternoons, I love being greeted with "DADDY's HOME! Daddy WORKing." It is great to be able to have conversations with you now. I know they are going to get better and better. "Pleased to meet you," you said to Mom just now, right before bed, catching her off guard. She laughed and said, "Yes Hannah, I am pleased to meet you too!" Have sweet dreams of contrails, Hannah. Good night.

Great Weekend in Squaw

While we didn't get any actual skiing or snowboarding in, the weather could not have been nicer for our four day weekend up in Squaw Valley. Hannah got to experience the closest thing to Sea & Ski since the 70's - sledding in the a.m. and swimming in the p.m. at the Resort at Squaw Creek's year-round heated (though not enough) pool & jacuzzi. It was great having the resort practically to ourselves too, being the end of the season. But it still offered plenty of action and relaxation for all of us! Here are a few of my favorite pics...

No way am I getting in that sled with you again!

Daddy crazy...

Much better... I like speed, but only when I'M in control (or Momma is nearby)....

Cannot WAIT to go to ski school next year!

"Look look! aNOTHer CONTRAIL!!"

"Daddy sunglasses, Mommy sunglasses, Hannah sunglasses! I love swimming!!"

Spring Snow at Lake Tahoe

Sledding Squaw Valley

Jumping to a great view!

Fingerprints in the cold snow!

Apres Sledding with a bowl of Mac n' Cheese at Sandy's Pub...

...and wrapping up with a mean game of checkers (it was all we could do to keep Hannah from running away with the King from the chess table!).
