Skiing, January 2015

To kick off the year we went skiing at Beech Mountain! We went for 3 nights and 4 days. The entire time was especially foggy (with ice included) but especially fun! We love Beech Mountain! And we had the coziest cabin to stay in the entire time. The cabin was less than a mile from the area, and had tons of biking and hiking trails surrounding. 


Day one! Atley was doing so well! Our rule is you must be able to stop and turn before you go up the mountain. And Atley was about to go up because she was doing so well. Then one more time up the "magic carpet".... and.... she lost her balance on it and got tumbled and... broke her arm. Nonetheless, we still had a very good time! We took turns skiing with Alex and Addison. Since the cabin was so close it was easy to manage a good time for all.



Alex took this shot of Addison and I in the foggy mist up ahead...



Have mountain bike, will travel....







A fire made the room very cozy....




Still day one here!



At the Urgent Care Center... cast came after we returned home.


Yes! I was totally in my element...


I'm on top of the world, lookin' down on creation...





Still doing school...


Someone else in their element...





Alex took a lot of these... Addison is in the one below...






We saw so many deer out this window. And we had some racoon visitors on night... I was hoping to see bear but not this time.

It is already July but I am putting in the last quarter again. Maybe this is turning into a quarterly update!  This quarter included our family trip to the Outer Banks. It was so great to see everyone. Then we drove to Atlanta. And life in-between.  Wet suits were not even a necessity on this trip! Sunny days and warmer water! I even went swimming a couple of days! This house had an amazing kitchen and we served up heapfuls of food! And our good friend Erin, came to visit us from Florida. She was here for other reasons but we still were able to get together for lunch! Former students getting married! Yup, I'm feeling a little old! The setting was so beautiful! And he drove the entire way home from Atlanta and most of the way there! Gotta get in the historical and nature places when we are somewhere. This place had both. Roswell is one fun town. Onto Myrtle Beach, SC where Beckie, our dear friend and best ever babysitter got married to Ia...

October 2015

October began with TKD testing. Atley tested for her senior blue belt and this was a tough one. I didn't know if she would be able to test but she practiced and practiced and she tested! The forms are very complicated and there is so much to remember. I am impressed with how hard she works and how well she does. A bit nervous walking into test.. Sparring well is also a big part of testing...  She passed!!!! We are studying Flying Creatures this year so I organized a trip for her class to a 700 acre environmental education preserve and they designed a class just for our group! Hands on and very educational. And Melissa and Karl came down for a visit for a few days! Melissa brought tons of her old costume jewlery to share with Atley. And Atley is making a doughnut costume for Halloween. We saw this on YouTube and I thought. "we can do this." Addison's 14!!! His birthday was so fun! Thank you everyone for the car...

We took a trek up to Maine to visit Grammie and Grampy Meehan and then we went to the cottage and saw Aunt Amy and Emily and Lila.   Eating on the pier overlooking a bay. Then eating lobsters...  Baltimore airport!  Onto the rental car...  I LOVE this farm!! Atley noticed 2 fish in this picture! Can you see them? Did I mention I LOVE this farm! I LOVE my baby too!! Near the old ice house... Captain Atley! Atley and I have big ideas for this barn but we will have to do this in the south... Nothing like Maine! Missing Alex! Ocean Park And the famous Soda Fountain. The apostle  Paul  said, “Finally, brothers and sisters,  whatever  is true,  whatever is noble ,  whatever is right ,  whatever  is pure,  whatever is lovely ,  whatever  is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — th...
