After the Storm...

So after the storm comes a winterwonderland. This is why we live in Colorado. It is so beautiful. Cold, but beautiful. We start the day today at -5 degrees and it has warmed up to a nice 25 degrees. We started our ski season last weekend. 3 feet of fresh powder! We only got stuck a few times. This weekend should be much better. They received more snow yesterday and have had the week to do some more grooming. Tomorrow might be the day to head back up and try it again. One more week of school for Sammi and Dylan. They will have plenty of time to get some skiing in during their 2 week Christmas break.

Latest house update...
We have drywall and garage doors!!! They will start to tape and texture drywall next week, The infloor heat tubing will be installed and the gypcrete poured. Yes, we are moving along. We are getting so excited. We still don't have an exact completion date, but it will be here before we know it. Until the next time, Enjoy the season!

Welcome to Winter!




Snow!!!! Just what we have been asking for. The snow came in late last night and hasn't stopped yet. The ski areas are finally opening this weekend and with great snow! The kids were sent home from school after only hours and have been having a blast in the snow. Brent on the other hand is looking for places to move the snow. We've never seen so much snow in such a short time. I guess we will have a white Christmas after all!
