Winter

Well hello! Sorry for the lack of posts...I've been on vacation and it has been hard to make myself blog! I have a few pics to post from when I was home visiting family and friends in VA but first wanted to share some winter (or lack of it) pics.

To tell you the truth - we haven't had much of a winter this year! Last year we had over 100 inches of snow by this time and this year we've barely had 30.

Remember this last year? Oh how I miss it!




It doesn't even feel like we've even had 30 inches because as soon as it snows...it melts! Our backyard has looked like this for most of the winter :( Yuck.







Matt has still been out skiing and we have escaped to the mountains to get a little snow fix since we have none at our house. A few weeks ago we hiked up Camel's Hump with our friends Sarah and Joe (and of course the puppies we invited too).

Matt entertains Willow to keep her from barking at the top...




Not tempted to do this in the middle of winter...







The view! Note how there's no snow in the valley....







It was windy on top :)




21 weeks at 4083 feet!




Willow explores :)













When I returned from VA we had just enough snow that stuck around to cross country ski on the golf course behind our house. It's a good winter exercise alternative for a non-downhill skiing pregnant lady - I just wish it would stick around a bit longer!







OK - that's all I have for you right now! I'll post soon on my VA adventures :) Happy Monday!

xo!

Weekend Updates

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was relaxing...time at the lake with fam, an all you can eat pizza night, and a book club pool party (more on our book selection later). Matt's weekend was fun but not so relaxing - a one night bach party in New York - woo hoo.

I realized I haven't shared some of our recent weekend activities so figured I'd post all the rest of the iphone pics I haven't gotten around to yet :)

A few weekends ago we celebrated my friend Katie's bachelorette! Hooray! I can hardly wait for their wedding the end of this month!





I did some antiquing and came across something familiar.....





Our house is slowly coming along. They are working on the floors again today so my house update post is delayed once more. I did plant some hosta along the back of the house.



Matt and I hiked up Camel's Hump a few weekends ago - our first hiking opportunity this year!











Poor Will has to be on her leash at the top to protect the "fragile alpine vegetation."



Flattering photo, isn't it?



Finally - if you want to see the entire panorama click here. Just a warning - it will probably make you dizzy.



OK guess you're all up to date :)
