And she is off ....

Our little girl took off on her own!!! A few weeks ago she just started skiing on her own, no more Racer Chaser straps!!! And she is in complete control while skiing.

She loves going on chair lift with her daddy. Way to go girl!!! Now if you can just avoid those jumps so mommy can sleep at night.

The boys ...

... my two partners in skiing.

What happens when you leave boys in charge ...

A few days ago after we got home from running around the kids wanted to play outside. I asked the boys to keep an eye on the girls while I got something done inside the house. A few minutes later I heard knocking on the door and there was Sam with a big smile:

Sam:"Guess what?"

Me:"What?"

Sam:"The girls can jump off the rock now and I taught them!"

Me:"Great!!!!" So I grabbed my camera and went to see the big jumps.

The girls are VERY proud of themselves and their jumping abilities. Nothing warms moms heart more than seeing her children in the air!

At least we have so much snow that there is a soft landing.

Sam working on his jumping with style.

They all had blast jumping together.

Soft landing.

Anyone wants to send their kids over?

Guess what .... it is snowing again!!!!

Yes we did get more snow today. Not as much as we were expecting but about 8in(20cm) that is on top of what we got yesterday.

As you can see the swing set is under snow. No more swinging for a while. The kids didn't even bother to dig it out.

Can you guess what are the kids hiding from?

It looks like they are getting ready for an attack . ..

... by the snow man!

And was it a battle or what.

more snow

and more snow, we have plenty to share

almost buried.

Will they make it? Looks like they are OK. The girls cried most of the time but when it was over they were screaming on top of their lungs:

"Lets do that again!"

We had to dig our trash cans out.

What kind of blog entry would be if it didn't have one of the boys jumping.

It took both Fil and I close to two hours to clean our drive way and the front steps. I know some of you asked how it works around here with so much snow. Well let me tell you that at 3pm this afternoon I got into my car and ran some errands. No problem what so ever on the roads! People in New England know how to clean the snow!!! I do not think we will be BBQ anytime soon!

It is snowing ...

.... AGAIN. The first two pictures are of our house last night. Most of you could say that we already have a lot of snow and I would have to agree with you.

But it started snowing again this morning and it snowed all day (it is still snowing tonight).

We only got about 7in (15cm) of snow so far. But that is only first faze of this massive snowstorm.

We have more coming tomorrow. Way more!!!!

I have no idea where are we going to put all this snow. As you can see the kids have mountains of snow to play on.

Sam and Nate made expeditions on K2 this afternoon.

Jo and Emma could barely move in the snow.

But they did not give up and climbed everywhere their brothers climbed. And then slid down as gracefully possible.

There is something about boys and jumping off rocks.

Some of them (Emma) even helped me to clean our drive so Fil could get home from work.

I do not know about rest of the world but we are staying home tomorrow. Maybe we will make it out on Thursday.
