HamiFami "March" 2021

 Bryan took Willow for her first ski lesson at Eagle Point early March. Then at the end of the season we went with friends to get the last season run in. 

Waseem, Sarah, Violet, and Ocean came out to our house for a few days for a lovely visit. 
It was great to see those faces again. It was really nice to see family after the covid chaos. 

Ava on a early spring cattle run ( I stole this photos from her). 

Ava, the artist, is always coming up with something creative. She whipped up these hand-made bears (no pattern!) from an idea out of her head. Haha. She says "No big deal".... as I'm standing there in awe with my mouth wide open. 

So, you know how prom pictures are a big deal. Eskdale doesn't really have prom, but they have a school dance every year where they get dressed up. I  decided to start our own tradition with Ava's dress pictures. We are going up the mountain and take them ..... in nature! This is the most I've ever seen my girl dressed up. So beautiful, I may have shed a tear or two. Our kids are growing fiercely before our eyes. (Thanks to Janille for the hand-me-down dress). 

Isaac always gets to represent the arrival of St. Patrick's Day Haha! 
He's such a great sport ~ and I swoon over that hair, ears, eyes, freckles and smile!

HamiFami "February" 2021

 We usually get a good dump of measurable snow in February. This time it really accumulated on the valley floors! We were delighted! 

How refreshing it was to get outside with our friends and sled at the gravel pit near town. 

*Snow Troopers* 

My friend organized a caving trip. You don't feel a winter chill when you are crawling underground. 

These kind of activities with our friends made life feel not as much so covid isolating. Thanks for the invite Gretchen! 

Isaac and Willow had teeth removed. Isaac had so many extra teeth he needed to have oral surgery.

 It was as fun as the look on his face. Poor Isaac. Been there done that. 

One of the positive take-away's from living life during covid? I'm doing more human BEING instead of human DOING. Sunsets also remind us everyday to pause and simply ~ BE.
