Note, day clothes for pajamas. Their idea. Note also, our shined floors…courtesy of Holmes’ self-care of putting Vick’s VapoRub on the soles of his feet and seemingly using the floor to rub it in:)

We’re in Valentine’s Day crafting mode!

Holmes’ first day on the mountain was a success! And after avoiding the long magic carpet line by pushing him up the mountain for a few very short runs, we ditched it all together for the nearest chairlift and never looked back. With the backpack leash, I do end up lifting him down the mountain:) But, we have a need for speed (self imposed by me?) that only a chairlift can offer. We left on a high wanting to come back!

It’s a whole family affair! (And, there’s nothing more energy consuming than skiing with other friends and instructors…Meryl saw us at the base on her last run and slumped on into our arms.)

We picked up a box of Filipinx treats from Hood Famous and devoured them all.

Robot dancing with Tito and Lola on FaceTime:)

Meryl’s Salon opened after a long closure and lucky us, we ALL got appointments!

Who has signed a guest book recently? We have! In the great parent pass off between meetings while Meryl spent one last day recovering from her cold, we went to the Volunteer Park Conservatory!

We pretty much had it all to ourselves…so we circled all the rooms multiple times and tried to find new sights we hadn’t previously seen! The cactus room was on point:)

Lummi enjoys making her presence known, and loves to lie down on yoga mats and in workout spaces for no other purpose than to be present where we’re stretching our presence.

Friday Song! (And both kids went to school today!)

But it sure was fun (for them) while it lasted!
