A Letter From a Friend

Today I received this note from my good friend Simon (he lives in France):

Dear Anne,

As an avid follower of your blog, I'm waiting for an update!

On your last post, you promised to give us an update "sooner than one month and two days" ... well, it was January 22nd !

So, the 1 month and 2 days have passed, at least on French time! ;o)

But as there are still 6 hours before the 1 month and 2 days pass on EST, maybe there will be a new entry on your blog when I wake up! :o)

I can't disappoint my good friend Simon, so here's what I've been up to this past month:

Cross-country skiing

Trying new foods

(that would be peanut butter in my hair)

Sledding

And for the BIGGEST NEWS of all, you'll have to check back tomorrow...

(I think I kept my promise Simon by approx 15mins EST :)

One month and two days

It's been one month and two days
here's a re-cap

White Christmas

White New Year's

and a very, very, very

White January

more to come...and I promise sooner than one month and two days

Another flight

Flying to Seattle for Christmas

went

"really well"

...and then it really did go well

for about thirty minutes

Sledding Adventure

My Dad and I celebrated the end of his surgery rotation
with a little sledding (my first time)

Everything was going great

Until I had a bit of a spill

whoopsie

My Daddy gave me a little pep talk

and I got back on my sled

and had a lot of fun
(while hanging on a little tighter too)

I'm not sure who had more fun

me or my Daddy????

Look what I woke up to...

a beautiful winter wonderland

Meeting Santa

I'm happy to meet most strangers

...except
this man named Santa Claus
