Molly the Giant is a big fan of the snow.  She was getting groomed this morning, so we made sure to play before she got her bath and hair cut.  She'll roll around in it, kind of like some animals do in the dust... oh wait she does that too.  

We enjoyed great weather in Colorado this week, although because it was so warm we didn't end up doing any skiing as we had planned when we originally scheduled this trip.

Today we went on a short hike at Sapphire Point overlooking Lake Dillon where we enjoyed a picnic lunch.

Travis, my brother, began wrestling when he was in kindergarten.  It was no surprise then that Therin also is wrestling at a young age.  Last weekend was the first time it worked out that I was able to watch him in action.  Therin's matches were a bit rough, but he wrestled hard.

Therin's first match against a boy from Pittsville.

Getting help from Dad.

Therin's last match of the day, against another boy from Desoto, WI.

Last Saturday night we hung out with the Rechs and Robaczewskis.  Cameron, Cailtin, Calista, Joel and I played games until the kids had to head home for bed.  Cameron was the big winner in Qwirkle and Joel beat the rest of us in Ticket to Ride.

Another new year...

As with other years I can't believe the last year passed so quickly.  It seems like just last month we were moving to California and embarking on a new adventure, but no that was nearly a year and a half ago.  Last month we moved back to the Midwest.  We are living in Minneapolis, Minnesota now.  I have some ideas about resolutions and goals, but right now I am not jumping into anything too quickly.  I'll try to share and write more here in 2012.
