Last day of ski season....




We've officially said good bye to ski season for this year and good bye to the "big house" as Cammy so fondly calls it - aka the lodge at Mad River Glen where we have spent lots of time this ski season. It was a long and wonderful season...and we got many, many great ski days in this year. We are all dreaming of next season, and Tanner is dreaming of his ski resort which he hopes to make one day.

Mike's "at home" birthday....




Although we celebrated Mike's birthday with the family in Canada, on his real birthday wanted to take him out to celebrate. Of course being Daddy's birthday, it was Daddy's choice, but as it turned out our two boys "love sushi!!!" (their own words). Now, just to be clear they didn't actually eat sushi, but they devoured (Tanner's new favorite word) their salmon terryaki. Tanner got onto the chopsticks and now loves eating anything he can with chopsticks. Cammy loved feeding the fish (they have fish that they let the little kids feed). Both boys keep asking to go back to the fish/sushi place as soon as possible!!!

Downs family weekend in Toronto....












We had such a great time with the family up in Canada in early April. We got lots of quality time with Geemie, Poppa, Aunt Jean, Uncle Mike and Cousin Riley, we celebrated two birthdays (Geemie's and Daddy's) and we all had a fabulous time. It was SO great to see everyone and have us all together again:) Thanks everyone for making so much time for us....



We also got our fix of our Canadian favorites - our favorite Tim's iced cappuccino, Licks, Swiss Chalet's quarter chicken dinner - yum! And let me just say, Swiss Chalet I appreciate you for having the best kids menu I think I have ever seen - drink options include my children's beloved Shirley Temple for no extra money, and dessert possibilities (included with your meal) include a packet of M&M's or skittles - perfect to bring with us in the car for later enjoyment!!!
