The first day of skiing was AWESOME!! All of the kids did great. Meagan and JB were in the same ski school class and caught on very fast. Spencer was in a different ski school and also did extremely well. They said he is a "natural." Booba took a private lesson and skiied with no fear. He is also a "natural." I skiied a little bit after finally getting everyone fitted for boots, skis, hats, gloves, goggles, etc.....whew....skiiing requires a bunch of gear with 4 kids, but I loved every minute of it. ~:)>
The youth service last night was INCREDIBLE!! God showed up in a HUGE way. I know that sounds cliche"ish" but it's true and I can't think of a better way to describe it. I can't wait to see what He has in store for us tonight since we started off so great last night. I am really enjoying spending quality time with the students and my family and the views from the lifts are abosolutely breathtaking. (yes I said breathtaking Debra....only you and Elaine know what I mean by that.) They really are amazing.
Here are some pics of the kids on the slopes....Love to all......J
I the spirit of Christmas and giving... I thought you might like to see a video that was found in the ol' archives. Merry (belated) Christmas and have a blast skiing!

"Quite" breathtaking, I'm sure!
MJ, the video is great, though it does remind me of a certain knee injury, followed by a knee surgery, followed by a certain caregiver tripping over said knee. It's still a moment of horror I can't seem to erase.
Just got back today (Saturday) from Georgia. We weren't skiing, but when I think about what we were doing, or more specifically, what David was doing three weeks ago, our little walks down the driveway felt like successfully conquering a good double-blue. Love to all! Tell my little boyfriends how cute they look in their ski gear.
