back to life, back to reality



we're back from our trip to utah! we had a great time. i went skiing for the first time since college. it was loads of fun. gracie learned to ski as well. the second day of skiing i had to take an hour break in the lodge (with my cousin and grace). my legs were like jello at that point. my cousin and i had a good laugh at how pathetic we were, but after that break we were able to ski for several more hours and felt great! i think we looked pretty good too (for amateurs that is)!! gracie was always the first down the hill with her straight down snow-plough technique. i went for a more controlled descent with lots of turns, but fun nonetheless.

we had a wonderful time visiting tons of family on both sides as well as catching up with a few friends. the trip was good timing as i needed a good respite from the craziness of life. we genuinely had a wonderful time. i didn't take as many pictures as i would've liked and most of the ones i did take were goofy, but i'll post them nonetheless. enjoy!

I'm so proud of Gracie! Way to go...you look great on skis!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
