Winter Wonderland

POO REPORT - Omaha was buried under 12 inches of snow last Tuesday, and we were snowbound until Friday morning. We

received another inch or two this morning. I did some work from home and kept an eye on the little man while Nicki used the time to complete her immunology class (She got an 'A'!!...she is a kick-ass mom). In between, we
shoveled snow, finished some 'in-home' projects, and took turns skiing the streets and parks of Omaha. We also took Finn out for a spin in the 'Bob', and watched the chaos that happens when this much snow hits a midwest city.

Our home is in the bottom of a small valley, which means we had quite a few people stuck near our house, unable to climb the snowy hills out. Over the weekend we headed out to with the Camenzinds, took a tractor ride, marched around in the snow, and cut down a seven-foot tall, seven-year old spruce, Finn's first Christmas tree. Nicki played the lumberjack this year. Once again, Yoda adorns the crown (thanks Mistereks!). It is now so cold here that Manuel refused to ski with me today...brrrrr.

Home Sweet Home

We have been on many adventures over the last couple weeks. We left the week before Thanksgiving to head to the hills, the hills of Colorado that is. Our first stop was in Fort Collins to visit our friend Mike Scott. After a fabulous lunch we headed to Dillon. We spent many relaxing nights there then headed to Glenwood Springs and New Castle to visit old neighbors and friends. We even stopped by Osage Organic Farm, where I used to work. It is a beautiful property on the Colorado river with tons of greenhouses and land for planting, and it is for sale if interested (click here). We left with some yummy herbs and produce and headed to Kate and Rick's up at the beautiful Ranch at Coulter Creek. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast at the Village Smithy with more friends then on to Durango. We landed at Jenni, Brett, and Bennett's house for Thanksgiving. We spent our time hiking, fishing, shopping and EATING! It was wonderful! Finn even learned to sign "more", my smart boy! Now we are home trying to settle in for a few weeks...until our next adventure! Click here for more pics from our trip.

I think Finn was getting a little stir crazy in the car...

Finn's favorite song, Finn Carter Alexander, Finn Carter Alex-an-an-der!
