Video of Mika

There's a cold going around the northwoods.  Jay and I are both a little bit sick...although I wasn't sure if I had the cold or not since I perpetually have kleenex hanging out of my nose this time of year anyway.  Once I found out it was a runny-nose-cold, I knew it had found me.  I have about a week to get back into shape and then we will both be crazy busy for the next three to four months.

On Thursday, my boss at 3b called in sick so I spent the day taking video of Mika and playing with our new Macbook.  I officially am in love with our Mac.  Someday when we have a real video camera and not just my old digital, I will make movies all day.  Here is what I did on Thursday afternoon.  I still have a lot to learn about imovie, but I got some of the basics down.   Grab a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a box of tissues and enjoy!

**note** wells fargo is a camp game involving a lot of running and brick throwing...Craig can explain.

Mika Post

I chatted with Lauren on the phone last night and she made a request for "More Mika Pictures!".  Here you go :)

This morning

We went for a run and came back to Mika.  She missed us and wanted to snuggle a lot with me and lick my sweaty face.

Mika playing with Ebb.  All she does is chase him around everywhere.  He is 11 years-old, so an hour of running around with Mika he is wiped out for the day.  But they sure do have fun. 

Memorial Day Weekend

Jay and I haven't updated in a while.  Mostly because we are boring and we work too much.  We both worked through the last weekend but did have Monday off together.  I had a project that I have been wanting done for use this summer.  See if you can figure it out...

TA DA!

Another beautiful day in Paradise

We were planning on heading up to Indianhead to ski this afternoon but decided against it when it was -5º out this morning. We thought it would be too icy. Right around 9:30 the sun came out and it has been gorgeous all day. I shoveled off the back deck while Mika trucked around the back yard. I knew it was time to come in when I saw her dozing off in the snow, I didn't realize I had been shoveling for an hour and a half. Guess we had a lot of snow piled up!

Jay spent the morning waxing all of our skis. (That means two pair of downhill, skate and classic skis...quite a large/time consuming task!) We tried out our freshly waxed skate skis on the lake this afternoon because we might not have many chances left this spring. It was so nice to be outside in the sunshine. Now we know how all those Arizonians feel! After a long ski we were both sweating and decided to enjoy the sun and a beer on our back porch. It is only about 35º right now but it feels like 70º to us.

Craig organized a spring-break "volunteer-work-weekend" at Camp so I spent a few hours yesterday and today helping clean out and organize the equipment repair room. We are so lucky to be able to live here, it is always nice to try and help out when and where I can.

Wishing everyone a great week and hope you are enjoying the spring weather as much as we are. I know I can't wait to get our summer garden started...I have a few months to plan though :)

Next season: BOATING!
