First Time on Skis!




We had another little dusting of snow today, so it was a perfect day to try out my new skis! Daddy bundled me up in my snowsuit, strapped on my new skis, and we headed out into the backyard with the puppies! We happily snapped photos as I hung onto daddy and glided down the hill in our backyard. I am getting much better at standing with assistance, so daddy's goal of skiing before I walk is really within reach!




It was nice to have daddy back home- he had been at a meeting in Dallas the last two days. But Granmimi stepped in to help mommy pick me up from daycare. Best of all, we had Beth Cambell, Uncle Steve's friend, come and visit for her OB-Gyne interview. She is really nice- I like her. But Skye really liked her- she wanted to cuddle with Beth all the time. Skye really goes for blond women for some reason. Just ask Gran!



sorry about the sidways video- just watch with computer tilted!

Hurrah! Sophie is a hot dogger! I loved the video- before you know it Sophie will be pulled by Denali and the Saints on her cross country skis- over the hills and dales to Granmimi's house. I think the goal of skiing before walking is within reach
A special song for Sophie!
Over the river and through the woods
To Granmimi's house we go.
The Saints and Denali know the way to carry Sophie on the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play.
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
For it is a Sophie snow Day.

Over the river and through the woods,
The Saints go faster;
Spring o'er the ground just like deer,
For this is Christmas Day.

Over the river and through the woods
And straight through Animal Farm gate.
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow;
It is so hard to wait.

Over the river and through the woods,
Now Granmimi's barn I spy.
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done;
Hurrah for the berry pie.

Oh my! You are adorable and your Dad is a budding ski instructor- I am so happy to see you take your first ski run. You Mommie's commentary added to the celebration. I love you all. Gran
