Meryl uncovered my old winter jacket in the garage and decided it was the perfect layer to wear while practicing. (I remember the faux sweater insert being so cool.)

Lola got into the fun today! After all, Humbao will only be pickupable for so long:)

Holmes and I took this picture at the top of the mountain last weekend when he wanted to take an extra run, and I’ve been looking at it ever since:) These moments are…such great moments!

What day! I had so much fun photobombing the kids during their lessons on the BIG chairlift(!) while Frank and Humbao strolled the parking lot:) Holmes even wanted to go on another run afterwards (yay!), and then his legs became jello and he scored a lucky lift down the hill between my legs…just like old times.

And off they go to the WAC Father Daughter Dance!

Meanwhile, Holmes and I took Xanna to an arcade!

Holmes built a robot in class…any excuse to use the hot glue gun:)

Super Bowl Sunday watching Taylor Swift’s boyfriend play football while making Valentine’s cards for classroom friends.

I may have lost it a few times, and I’m not confident I’ll choose to initiate a project like this again…and in hindsight, it sure looks Valentine’s divine!

Home spa night! Going for the glow.

We have a puppy! And his name is Humbao! He’s an English Cream Golden Retriever, he’s eight-weeks old, and we love him.

We drove to Bend, OR to pick-up Humbao, a drive that would take six-hours from Seattle without stops. We took stops. A lot of them. It took us all day to get home.

OK, we took one stop to take in the scenery.

Doughnuts in Portland called us into the city for a brief moment…and they let us bring Humbao inside!
