The winter that never was

Our ski boots have spent most of the winter here, sitting neatly under a bench in the mudroom.


And even though we haven't had great snow, we've had to embrace the "We'll take what we can get" philosophy in order to get some time on snow. Lauren, Aidan, and I did some stomping around recently while Jack and the big kids were off doing some more serious skiing. Lauren's doing great, Aidan loves the backpack, and I haven't fallen with him in it. A success, I think.
