This Week's Highlights

Nathan

Nathan and I took a brisk morning walk around the zoo on Thursday. The highlight was the polar bear who, for whatever reason, spent the morning diving into the water and jumping out right next to the glass where the kids were standing, over and over again. Needless to say, it was a big hit.



Savannah

A few weeks ago Savannah missed out on the father-daughter symphony because she was sick. So on Saturday, Russ took her to a children's symphony entitled Tyrannosaurus Sue. They got to have a special lunch together and then raced over to Symphony Hall where they got to enjoy a mash up of the symphony and the natural history museum. Savannah drew pictures of the different instruments while they played and loved being in such a 'fancy' place, but I think her favorite part was getting special time with her dad.



Abbie

Back in January Russ took Savannah for a special father daughter ski day. I was still healing from my knee surgery, and unable to go, but he spent the day on the practice hill with her and by the end she was ready for the lifts.
Friday, was Abbie's turn...with mom. Abbie has already been skiing a fair number of times so we headed up the mountain for the afternoon. Abbie was amazing. She has all the basics down strong, but when she did fall (which was rare) she would laugh and get herself right back up. Her good attitude is a must for skiing. She really learned the terrain and by the end was willing to try a jump! We had a great time talking and laughing on the lift. It was a perfect day.
