The snow was SO far away.  We drove twice as far as we expected it would be to even find snow.  We ended up at the little snow park at Boreal.  It was the perfect amount of hiking and sliding for the kids.  Poor Ari was under dressed, and, even though it was quite warm, he was cold and ready to go before everyone else.  He had quite a fun time, though, eating snow and hiked much more than I expected his toddler legs to carry him.  I had a much easier time hiking and playing as well.  Since having three pregnancies in 4 years, I feel somewhat slow and immobile.  I don't tend to be drawn to outdoor activity, but when I do it, I enjoy it and wish I was more driven to experience creation more frequently.  I was please to find that I was able to hike up the small hills (sometimes even carrying a child) and was comfortable sliding with the kids.  It gave me a hope for a future of enjoyable physical activity that I rarely feel.

10,000 visitors!

I don't know who you are, but thank you.  I keep this blog as a way to update friends and family about our life here in the Lukas home.  I'm definitely not a blogger, in my mind.  It's something I forget to do most days.  I hope, someday, to be more regular and more extensive than instagram uploads.  For now, our life is about managing to eat, play and get ourselves dressed to get out of the house.  I know this will not always be so.  Maybe, eventually, I will even have enough energy to put cohesive ideas into meaningful posts about the learning curve of being a mommy, homeschooling progress or our general day to day.  Right now, that is not my reality.

Thank you for watching us.
