hitting the slopes

above the tree line

jami, heidi and mike

The second weekend in January found us skiing in Breckenridge, Colorado with some good friends. We stayed in a great ski in/ski out condo at the base of Peak 8. It has been awhile (10-12 years!) since either Mike or I had skied so we both enrolled in a half day lesson on the first morning but by Monday we were above the tree line skiing a black run. On Sunday our friend Jami Leahy (now a Colorado Springs resident) joined us while Scott and the boys went sledding. We'd like to thank now President Obama (and XM radio) for keeping us engaged and entertained for several hours of a VERY LONG car ride home on Tuesday. I don't think anyone will forget the trip or the inauguration anytime soon!

January was a busy (and fun) month for us! We rang in the new year with some of our running friends (and lots of good food!). Our Christmas returned on the 4th when Josh, Amy (Bartel) and Madeline came to visit. We enjoyed dinner with Dustin, Angela and Quinten at Ted's Montana Grill in P+L before Heidi returned to work (after a 2 week vacation!) on the 5th. She only had a few days back in the office before the next vacation!
