in which there was sledding . . .

Lest you think we're all work and no play around here, we took the girls sledding this afternoon:

Grace and Harland:

Abby:

This one resulted in some tears:

And just so you have something to chuckle over, here's me in my down coat.  Go ahead and laugh at that faux fur, but I tested with and without it and it is in fact warmer with the fur.  I was warm, so stuff it.

Still not totally shoveled out yet, but I'm still loving the snow.

p.s.  Kudos to Vancouver's Olymic opening ceremony.  Well done you.  The projection on, well, everything was awesome.  That circus guy who "danced" to Joni Mitchell representing the plains of Canada was my favorite.  The creativity of people astounds me.
