Noah texted after his skiing trip that skiing is his “new favorite thing.” Apparently he is a natural and wants to hit the slopes again soon. Whew!!! While Noah went to his friend Zach’s house for a sleep over after skiing, Lily had her friend Mya over for a roller skating party and sleep over. The girls had a blast together and made costumes for roller skating: Nathan and I dressed in 80’s garb (Nathan with a Miami Vice feel)…
Noah has been packed for a week for the 8th grade skiing trip to Galena, Illinois. He will board a bus for an hour and a half and then enjoy an entire day of skiing. Nathan and I are a little unsure of this side of parenting…letting your child go on a trip without you and try something that could result in injury.

Then I picked the Indian restaurant for my birthday lunch (the kids love Indian food so they were very excited). Next we went ice skating with the figure skaters of the Quad Cities and Lily got a free lesson and learned a new spin move. I brought 3 teams of 8…
We celebrated my birthday eve with Mike, Alex, and Butch at home. We played Harry Potter Scene It (my team with Nathan and Noah won!…amazing we beat (barely) Alex and Lily (Harry Potter fanatics), ate cake made my Nathan and Lily, and drank hot tea. It was a wild night for this nearly 41-year-old.
