Who gave this girl a microphone?

Oh, my. Annemarie is in love with the microphone she received for Christmas from Aunt Erin. Here are some pictures of her singing and a video...

Annemarie Goes Skiing

We've been talking about this and planning for it and finally yesterday we took Annemarie up to the mountain to go skiing. She did about 5 or 6 runs on the Magic Carpet with Doug supporting/holding her. Overall seems to have been an enjoyable experience for her.

Sunday was perfect, hardly any skiers on the Magic Carpet. Hard to believe but Annemarie wasn't the youngest one out there!

Here's a video of Annemarie skiing!

Happy New Year!

So, I had every intention of posting this on January 1st...wow, how did it get to be the 17th already?? 2010 had many high points (and a few low ones) but I am ready for a new year. Time to get things done I've been putting off. As well as making sure I'm enjoying Will, Jack and Annemarie who amaze me with how quickly they are growing.

First up, we're planning another move for early February. We've found the most darling older home with four bedrooms! We'll be within walking distance of everything downtown and the schools. So, another move, another chance to get super organized!

The boys have been skiing on the weekends and started lessons last week. Basketball also started last week and Doug is coaching both Will and Jack's teams. We still have not taken Annemarie up to the mountain for her first try, but we'll definitely take pictures when we do. Annemarie has started going to daycare for 4 hours once a week. She'll be starting preschool in April when she turns three. She loves her time with the other kids and "Miss Cindy" her teacher. Thankfully she's still happy to see me when I pick her up.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2011! xo, Team Peppmeier
