Sorry the video is sideways...

Well, not much has changed here. But I thought I should give an update anyway.

We taught the girls how to ski. They LOVED it. They thought we were going to have to hike up the mountain, ski down and hike back up. How thrilled they were to learn that there was a thing called a chair lift. In fact, I'm not sure what they loved more, the chair lift or the skiing.

Turi and I both went to run a race nearby. She ran the 5K and came in 6th overall for kids from 8-18 yrs. old. Not bad! She ran it in 29 minutes. So funny. That's without practice and we told her to try to pace herself so she didn't start really running until the half-way point. I ran a full marathon and it might've been the worst idea I've ever had. It was all hills and I almost died and left Curt a widower.

We have had LOTS of snow, as you've seen from previous posts. The girls love it except Tihi is too short and the snow comes up to her waist and she hates not being able to move around.

School is going well. The girls are really in their groove. Tihi is easily doing 1st grade work. Bitsu is probably doing 2nd grade work. Turi should finish 4th grade work by the summer.

Speaking of summer, we will be helping out with a summer project in ME this summer. We will be driving there. Yes, we are insane. But that does mean we might be able to see a lot of you since we'll be driving across the country.

Lastly, Carmen. Not much to report on a baby. He usually sleeps 7-5, eats and goes back to sleep until 7. He is sitting up by himself, eating lots of peaches, pears, avocados, prunes, bananas and sweet potatoes, rolling over from stomach to back and visa versa and just being cute. He is super-easy so there is not much to write about. The cat loves jumping in his crib and sleeping on him, which wakes him. Cats.
