1/14/08 Settling in a bit..

It's been a good 2 weeks here so far.. We've been checking out all the indoor play places, there are many.. Every town has these amazing Recreation Centers (Boulder has 3) with pools, water slides, lazy river, basketball courts, racketball courts, rock walls, gym.. exercises classes galore, yoga.. etc..
There is also a Childrens museum 15 minutes away in Layfayette, a giant rock gym, indoor soccer, roller skating, and loads more..
Yesterday we drove up the mountain.. and looked out over the Continental Divide (the line that divides North America from top to bottom), it is a line of jagged peaks covered with snow, very beautiful.. on the way down the hill.. we saw a fox walking across the road.. very cool, don't see a lot of them.. nature feels very close here.
Reese is starting a basketball class today, we've been playing lots of basketball! Indoor exercise is the key to sanity here, i am hoping my blood will thicken.. but so far no luck.. it's cold..

12/31/07 New Years Eve in Boulder, Colorado

I guess i needed a break from writing.. haven't had much motivation.. it was a strange December.. colder than i've ever experienced.. more relaxed and mellow.. beautiful scenery all around.
We celebrated Christmas morning at Martha's house with her and her boys in Longmont, much abundance under that tree.. legos galore.. and games too..

Then we headed up the mountain to Winter Park after picking up Lex, her kids and her mom at the airport. It was snowing and storming like crazy.. I was sure glad to be in my new Landrover (well new to me) with all wheel drive and all weather tires, it carried us safely all the way up the mountain.
We skiied a bit, jacuzzied, played loads of games.. went sledding and enjoyed our friends a lot. On new years eve day, we headed back to Boulder and actually moved into our new little place in downtown Boulder right up next to the mountain. We can walk to the Boulder Public Library and the Pearl Street Mall (when it warms up), very nice neighborhood, peaceful and quiet and only a few blocks from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

For New Years Eve, we went to a dance and the kids had a blast dancing the night away, here's to a great 2008!!
