The best part of winter

As February draws to a close, we gain 7 minutes of light per day and we enjoy comfortable temperatures much of the time. This all makes for a much more enjoyable ski situation. Both Scott and Jen were able to go out with Bell and the dogs on Scott's days off. As usual, Sisu was a little trooper but Cleo is both more lazy and probably has arthritis so she was quite lame by the second day. They really love being out anyway. Isabel continues to sleep most of the time we are out.

Isabel is laughing a lot more lately. Here she is wearing an outfit from Great Grandma Irene. (Our little chunker is in 6 months clothes now).

Since Jen's back has been really bad for the past week, Jaime came over and lifted Bell for a day, which was very helpful.
