Snow!

The snow is coming! Actually, it is already here in the mountains. On Tuesday in just 30 short minutes from our house, we arrived at Alta, donned our back-country skis, stuffed Michelle in her snowsuit, threw her in the pack, and hiked up to the top Albion lift where we threw out our first powder turns of the season. Once more was I keenly reminded of what an amazing place Salt Lake City is...if you like that kind of stuff! I mean really, 30 minutes from the best snow on earth? Pinch me! And to think I completely took it for granted as a child. In the words of Joni Mitchell "Don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone..." Well, now I have it back and I will never take it for granted again!

Halloween Fun

We had a nice Halloween weekend. Despite the fact that the Canyon Rim Park neighborhood party was a rain-out, we still made the most of it hanging back with friends and dolling out the sweets to trick-or-treaters. On Sunday we went to breakfast at Ruth's Diner where Michelle dressed up in her complete witches garb. And the sleep? We went from having the WORST sleeper ever to the BEST sleeper ever. It's crazy! No crying, no fussing for naps or bedtime. Just happy cuddles with her dolly and snuggle-bear and she smiles herself to sleep. My insomnia however has continued. Weird. Maybe in my mind I am still waiting for Michelle to wake up, which makes it impossible for me to completely relax. Maybe one day we will ALL sleep well!
