29 Dec 2008 - Snowshoe day


The past two days, we have gone snowshoeing. Yesterday, we snowshoed across the valley behind the Three Peaks golf course. We almost made it to the top of the ridge but Helen's feet got cold. Today, she used her heaters from her ski boots and we hiked to the top of a ridge near Acorn Creek about 11 miles north of Silverthorne. Both days, we had clear blue sky and no wind. Today the snow got heavy as we hiked back down.

20 Dec 2008 - Zoe taking first steps



Craig put this video out showing Zoe taking steps. She has taken a couple steps the past couple weeks and took 4 steps at the day care center earlier in the week. I have been saying that she would be walking before Christmas and it looks like she will make it.

14 Dec 2008 - Major Snow Storm



We had a major snow storm last night and early this morning dumping over 12" at our house. Helen and I just spent 2 hrs outside moving snow. I now have an electric snow shovel that I use on the deck. It works really well and throws the snow awaythe side of the deck.

Each morning our cat, Vino, goes to the window to see if the bunny rabbit is there. I think each morning the bunny rabbit comes to the outside of our deck to see if the cat is looking at him. Today, the rabbit made a path through the snow and came out from under the deck to check on the cat. When I opened the blinds to let Vino look outside, the bunny was there looking at us. While I got my camera he moved away but I was still able to get this shot.
