The weather in Denver has been less-than-springlike. (Well, with the exception of just this past weekend!) We’ve had snow two of the past three weekends, and it’s barely gotten above 60 degrees for more than a day or two at a time. Not that I’m complaining.
(Okay. I’m complaining a little.)
I’m just sayin’ … spring, if you ever feel like showing up, we wouldn’t be sorry!
In the meantime, here’s a bit of what we got up to over the winter.
Ski, ski … & more ski! The girls and Chris skied more than 10 times this season, and Lotte & Grace even did their first black diamond runs! I’m so proud of how hard they’ve been workin’ on their skin’ skillls <3I even managed to get out with the fam a few times, which was so much fun!Emilia completed four ski lessons this season, but has yet to decide if she actually likes it. Her instructor recommended snowboarding, so maybe we’ll try that, next.We skied with our neighbors/friends a bunch, too, which was always the most fun <3Back in January we went to a Maurice Sendak exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.It was so cool! We particularly loved the interactive elements.I love these curious little kiddos <3In February, Lotte sang The National Anthem with her school choir at a CU Buffs women’s basketball game.AND she made it to the jumbotron!In April, she sang The National Anthem with her school choir for an opening weekend games for the Rockies!Some cutie friends joined us for the game <3And we stayed at an amazing hotel for a press trip for the weekend … stay tuned for more info 😉Just this past weekend, Lotte sang in the Choir in the Park festival and we got to hang at Elitch Gardens. We had never been, and it was so much fun!This was one of the few springlike days we’ve had lately, and we were HERE. FOR. IT!I had so many amazing events for my kid’s book, “Grace Retraces Her Day”! This is me at the Junkyard Social Club in Boulder …At the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Olde Town Arvada …Getting ready to read at a story time for My Gym …Reading to the animals (and kids!) at Lil’ Buckeroo’s Petting Zoo in Erie, CO …Reading to all the classrooms at the Kiddie Academy …And us at the 20th Anniversary Kite Festival in Arvada!I took the big girls to an event sponsored by the Boulder Bookstore where we got to hear cartoonists Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud talk about their new graphic novel, The Cartoonist Club.We saw The Wiz at the Buell Theater in Denver!We had afternoon tea at The Brown Palace for Easter and it was so yummy!Same girl.

And that’s about it, friends. It’s been … busy. To say the least 😉 But such a blast.
