Anna and I about to ski some powder in Keystone

It has been three weeks since the last update because I was in Paris for a conference and then we had the Superbowl party. So, we will start with skiing. Anna and I had a fantastic ski day in Keystone a couple of weeks ago. It had snowed all week and we drove up Friday night, just the two of us, to stay at our place. We were on the mountain early Saturday and had a full ski day. We even took the snowcat to the top of the mountain to ski some of the untracked powder.

Last weekend we hosted the annual Superbowl party. We had a lot of kids over as Jude and Anna both invited several friends. It ended up being a bit of a crazy evening with the kids being a little boisterous. And the game was really underwhelming.

Anna dissecting a sheep’s lung

This week at school Anna has some interesting classes. The theme for the year in her class is systems, and this past week she learned about the digestive system and other parts of the body. They learned about lungs by dissecting a sheep’s lung. Marcy came in for that class to help out and Anna thought it was pretty cool.

Anna making Valentine’s Day cookies

Anna has been a busy beaver in the kitchen lately. She loves to bake and today she made Valentine’s Day cookies, lots of them. She made a package for all the neighbors and delivered them this afternoon.

Jude “working” at his desk

Jude had a playdate this afternoon with one of his school friends. They went rock climbing at a gym and then watched a movie. Jude did not have much homework this weekend but he still spent quite a bit of time at his desk on his Chromebook. He likes to watch Youtube videos and play video games. It can become quite the battle as he is always pushing for more screen time.
