Shoveling Snow with Boppa

When Hannah and Zoe woke up this morning, there was SNOW on the ground!
Boppa trudged out to shovel the walk ways, and before long, he had some help!
Hannah was very excited about having a special task of snow shoveling,
and she told Boppa she would shovel all of the driveway behind the house.
Hannah made fast progress! She was concentrated and focused on her work.
A heavy shovel is no problem for Hannah!
Almost finished!
"Hey Daddy, I'm ready for more snow to fall so I can shovel some more!"
"Hey Boppa, come here and see how much I helped shovel!"
"Hey Boppa, you missed a spot!"
"I LOVE SHOVELING WITH YOU BOPPA!"
A job well done!

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!).

1st Real Snow (in Chicago)

Well, we finally got back to Chicago after our Christmas trip had to be put off. And while Hannah saw some snow last year in Chicago, being only One, it didn't really count (in our opinion). So she got her first real taste of the fluffy white stuff this January, and seemed to like it well enough. We certainly had the gear to make her quite the stylish snow bunny. Whether she enjoyed being over-bundled (walking and bending, and all movement in general actually, looked challenging...) is questionable.

Many thanks to the whole crew that hosted us during our visit -- Memaw and Boppa obviously, Eric/Joy/Jack&Kate, the NU crew, and the Matyas' Olympic-grade backyard hockey rink.
