Birthday Times. A bottle of vino per decade.

Our friends the Morgans are some of the very finest you could hope to know. What a great dinner filled with Italiano, vino and many crayons!

32 is not so bad. Especially with these two guys!

Another Day at the Office...

We live at the bottom of this. The school at which I teach is also down there, 10 miles away. I love Ski Day at school! So many kids get the chance of a lifetime to get up The Mountain. So many of the kids at our school come from poverty...for one day they can touch the clouds!

African refugee kiddos...learning to ski!

Me and a student, Martin.

Snowshoe Saturday. January 2nd.

While we may have stayed in for New Year's, we had an action packed day of outdoor adventure on the second day of January 2010! We headed up to Bogus and took a mountain top snowshoe. We finished off this beautiful 45 degree January day with a stroll downtown, shopping at Anthropologie, dinner and yet another round of coffee/desert at Asiago's. I hope there are many days in 2010 like this!

A New Year to you! 2010.

Any new year should begin appropriately with new recipes. We stayed in this New Year and made soup a l'onion gratinee and mini turkey sliders. Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Cookbook was a gift from Mike... fantastic recipes...off to get more ingredients.

What you doonin'? Front Street anyone?

Could these kiddos be any sweeter?
It really ended well with Bob's Big Breakfast.

I love Elliot's face in this picture! Ethan looks too happy after all them pancakes.

Fashion is very important in the MN. So, you must first know how to dress.
Once ready, you may set out to complete your travels..... This is Gull Lake. Lakes are used mostly for swimming in many other places.
Be sure to pack light because your travels may be lengthy and slow going.

Back to the MinneSnapolis for snow!

The Depot hotel in Minneapolis

We left Boise on christmas eve and made it into the MN just fine. Fun was had by all with a storm filled stroll through the cities to be followed by elegant and tasty game. Hot toddies by the fireplace capped off the night. If only we could have squeezed in a game of lawn bowling. A white christmas to all and to all a great night!
