Happy New Year

We have been up to a lot (a lot of traveling that is...) in the closing of the year.

We spent Saturday at Sugarbush mountain snowboarding and skiing with friends while Vance spent the day with a babysitter. We had a great time on the mountain and were actually surprised by 6 inches of fresh powder. It made things a lot softer for Angie when she crashed--Vin even had a yard sale as he hit some water bars too fast. So, besides being sore for the last few days it was great.

Sunday Vin decided to get up early and hit Smugg's for half day to get in shape for his trip to Colorado. He was sore too, but not nearly as bad as Angie. Not doing anything for a year, having a baby, and then starting off snowboarding introduces a whole new level of soreness...when even your forearms hurt, you know you are in trouble.


Sunday Angie and Vance decided to go on a walk to work out some of the soreness...Vance is in his snowsuit. We took the dogs, the jogging stroller and hit the snow covered roads. I think the next thing I will look for is some type of sled--the dogs just want to PULL! We had fun--and if you are wondering...Angie was still way sore after the walk.
Vance is so cute! Thanks Grandma Madeline for the suit.

For New Years we headed to Bristol VT and stayed overnight with some friends. We ate, chatted, chased kids, and played games--boy has New Year changed! We were in bed by 1:30am and up by 7:30am. (Babies just don't like to sleep in I guess.)
We then traveled to Williston and ate lunch with friends from Milton. (A daughter, Bailey, played for Angie a few years back and we keep in touch with the family--they are great people). We visited with them, ate a great meal at Zachary's pizza. They held Vance and tomorrow Bailey will return to warm/sunny Florida--I am jealous! We enjoyed the lunch guys!

Here is Vance and his official five month old picture. I have taken one each month and will do some type of scrap book page with all the 12 months. That is my contribution to his book--which I have not started yet...:) He has a little cold so you may see snots running from his nose, but that just adds to the photo. He loves his excer-saucer and plays in it all the time.

Happy New Year everyone...and keep checking the blog for updates.

(I am going to try to update it weekly---one of my resolutions for this year.)
