Truckee snow trip!

We had just the best time taking the kids to Truckee in January. We wanted to get to the snow and struggled to figure out where today. When we saw this awesome place in Truckee it just clicked! It looked like it had so much area around the house to play, a cool hygge vibe and a foozeball table for my Hunter.
Sweet little Pippa, calling the snow “dirt.” She did a good job trucking through it though she would only last 15 mins at a time. 
 We scrambled to find accommodations for Truckee a day earlier than planned when we woke up and realized that the day we wanted to travel would be totally socked in with snow. Philip found this cute A frame in the same neighborhood as our other rental.
Hunter was super well prepared for the snow after we scrambled to get him proper boots and jacket from a thrift store, so much so that he was basically swimming in the powder. He stayed outside for hours. He’s prepared with a handkerchief over his face after tripping and doing a face plant in the snow

24 inches of snow in 1 day!

Hunter being a fan has been a huge contributing factor to our family’s collective interest in the sport. It’s hard to believe he is been in love with baseball for more than 3 years now. He’s bigger than a lot of 6 year olds which makes it even harder to go back and think of 17-month old Hunter swinging a bat at a ball on a tee, heck hitting it OUT OF THE AIR  from a pitch, and deliberately throwing it. Hunter is so big for his age, emotionally and physically, so at this point it’s hard for me to continue to be impressed by how well he hits the ball.  Hunter had his first season of little league this year. When most kids his age would be just starting tball, Hunter is starting farm league, the first level o

18-month Pippa

Pippa is an absolute scream! She's talking and running and doing. Almost in the same breath as someone says she's cute or pretty, they say she is so independent. That's our girl! She will go to the ends of the earth to have an experience (Like when we went drove monument valley a few weeks ago after Grandad's funeral). But the car ride can be brutal! Walking around the house she is such fun! She has a sweet presence and has fun every morning playing with Hunter in their room before it’s time to get up. She cuddles close to read a lot Highly logical and methodical and can execute that with motor skills and stacking. Claps and claps for herself when she does her block box but less so now, but also a lot less frustrated Whether it's a pumpkin or a bucket or a heavy book, Pippa wants to lift things and do it herself! We tell people she is 1 year old going on 5 because she wants to be able to do just what Hunter is. She is an avid climber and scales all of the 12-yea
