One of the big Christmas gifts we got this year was “once a week” passes to the local ski slopes, as well as some lessons. Benton, Carson, and Julie skied once last year, but Alana had never skied, and I hadn’t skied since the early 1990s (and that was a one-week ski trip in Vermont — […]

We’re (blissfully) in a period where only one child is actively playing a sport. Carson is playing basketball, which he seems to be enjoying. A Momentary Lapse on Defense In Position to Take a Pass Fighting for the Ball Movin’ Those Feet!

We spent the long weekend in West Virginia, which was Fia’s first trip back to the farm since she mysteriously showed up there back in September. For a day-and-a-half, there were actually four dogs present. Fia was far and away the youngest and most active. She chased balls: She chased her boy (Benton): She goaded […]
