Meg took a tumble on the mountain - off we went to the Canadian Emergency room. After 4 hour wait, she had a sprained knee and maybe a tear in her ACL.  More to come after we get results from MRI!  Meg was a trooper and very brave.  Had a team of skiers getting her off the mountain.

Our second day of skiing was beautiful. It had snowed the previous day and the sun came out. Still, it was a chilly -14 celcius (4 f)

Celebrating our Lord's birth in our newly renovated Church was very special on this Christmas Eve, particularly with Mike home from overseas for the holidays.

Well, it's official!  The college kid is home..... that means loads of dirty laundry as well!!

365 Project - 12/12

This photo was taken from Meg's phone - hence the blur factor. But we like Gracie next to our tree. We will wait for Mike to come from the Middle East and Jill to come home from College before we put the ornaments on. It's a tradition to laugh out loud about all the cute. old ornaments they made which make up the history of our family. It's not going to make Martha Stewarts Magazine, but it's ours!!

This is a very pretty church right in the town of Simsbury up on a hill. It was the first day of December and it felt like snow.

I have been neglecting my 365 Blog - and I feel very guilty! Walk by my camera and it never seems to be near my computer to upload. Guess that is a sign that I need to SLOW DOWN and chill.
