Sierra Sledding





Auntie Tracy and Gavin built snowmen while the other guys went up and down the hill, over and over and over. Daniel and Vincent have never been so exhausted in their lives. They didn't move once they landed on the bed in the motor home.



After a couple runs with the big people, Daniel and Vincent both said they didn't want to ride with grown ups anymore. It's too painful riding down with all that extra weight.

Ronnie and Demet

Ronnie and Vincent have a blast jumping on the trampoline together, they jump over each other, practice karate moves and play Spiderman. Ronnie started coming over to play on the 4th of July last summer. Ever since then, he and Demet have been regular playmates at our house.

Demet, who is 8, spent the afternoon pulling Daniel and Gavin around the backyard. Gavin loves Demet but has a hard time saying his name, calling him "Gumet."

Lost tooth


I remember when that first tooth came in. We were driving down to southern Cal with our six month old baby. He didn't use pacifiers after the first couple months, so if he needed soothing during a drive, I would reach into the back seat and he would suck on my finger. It was then that I first felt that pokey little tooth coming through my baby's gums. 6 years later, it's that same tooth that started wiggling and then...
He pulled it out while were were taking a rest from our sledding activities this weekend. Without a word, he just pulled it out. The permanent tooth can already be seen coming in. The tooth fairy came on the second night since it's hard to fly into motorhomes in the mountains.

School Days

100 Days of School party
I've started volunteering in Daniel's class one hour a week. Gavin and Vincent get to join kindergarten and it's all very exciting. I love seeing Daniel and how he is in school and getting to know his classmates. They are precious. The first time I went in, Daniel announced that he had a loose tooth. "Can we celebrated when I get home?" he asked. He's was so excited. It's been over a week and he's still wiggling it.


Valentine's Day parties in Vincent's and Daniel's class were fun. Vincent was so excited about all his Valentine's he could hardly stand it.
