Spring Break 2009

One Cabin.
Two Families.
Three Days of
Un-Four-gettable Fun
with the Wilcox's.






You would think a snow-packed week with our four children, the Wilcox's five, and visiting pals the Clawson's five would have led to serious bouts of cabin fever. Nay, we say.
*
The children played, and played, and played.
The mama's talked, and talked, and talked.
It was a wonderful vacation.
*
And then there was...John.
Dear, John.Text Color
*
He pushed our ice-bound car across two lanes of traffic.
Slipped on the snowy cabin drive, falling flat.on.his.back.
Wiped out on the ski slopes.
Lost his iPod while shoveling our car out of a snow drift.
*
And smiled all the while.
*
Is it any wonder that the drive home included
twenty minutes of musing upon moving to California?

March Miracles.

Notable happenings this month:
*The miracle snowman.
There was hardly snow on the ground, yet the kids phenegled this beaut with their own hands.
*
Jacob propels a kite into the air with his mad skillz.
Thrilled to get it into the air, he didn't stop running for several blocks.
*
Alyssa becomes a baking beauty.
A stick of butter and a bit of lemon zest inspired Alyssa to create a treat for the family.
Tickled proud over her final plate of sugar-coated cookies,
she announced, with her toothlost grin,
"I made these!"
*
Say What?
Yes. That is John. In an apron. Pouring syrup on waffles HE MADE!
Indeed, miracles never cease.
