See the rest in my Flickr set here. not sure of "Friends & Family" permission levels. Sorry in advance if it makes you log-in or something. I am testing this out, as Flickr is easy to auto-upload in batches from my iPhoto program.

Alina & her school friend Tarn. I watched both kids during the race as Tarn's mom was racing too. Afterwards, they got a kick out of snowshoeing themselves.



Helen finishing in 2nd. A couple mins behind first, but way ahead of 3rd.



Tarn and Alina enjoying the sunshine!

Alina & I in the arts district

a couple wkds back Helen needed a break (imagine that), and sometimes the only way to get clingy Lini away from Helen is to take her out of the house altogether. One of the things I am best at is bringing Alina to Mary's Mountain Cookies. Delicious! We then walked around the town arts district and enjoyed the nice weather.

sledding with Helen, Alina & Ruby

We got a nice little snow today, prob a solid 4" even down here in the
valley. We hiked up Gold Run Rd and went sledding. Finally we had a
pleasant snowfall, and mildish temps in the mid 20s.
