Contest winner!

Sophia has always been an art lover, and there have been several occasions at her new school, where she has been recognized for her creativity!  This is her winning drawing of "The Lost Sheep" parable.

Fall pics

Before we moved from Montana, I really wanted to get some pictures taken in our backyard.  We miss that backyard!!!  And Montana.

Christmas in our new home

Within a month of moving to our new home, Christmas came along.  We were so grateful that Nonna & Dado could join us.  We had a WONDERFUL time together!!!  

(Above they are playing a rousing game of Spin-Your-Napkin-Holder.)

Having Nonna and Dado here definitely helped the kids feel better about being in our new house.  It also helped to have bedroom room make-overs for Christmas!!!  Sophia's is "Harry Potter" themed, and Dom's is "Cars" themed.

Merry Christmas!!!

Skiing in Idaho

We have had our best season of skiing as a family this season!  Dom is doing awesome, Sophia can ski anything on the mountain, and we're all actually having FUN all together!!!

Check out Dom flying down that bunny slope!!!

And it turns out, the mountain has some awesome cross-country terrain too!

And how's this for helmet hair!?!?

When we asked Dominic this day if he wanted to ski anymore after lunch, he replied: "I'd like to take a nap in the hot tub."
