And he is FOUR

That's right ladies and gentlemen -- this kid is four.  I still think of him as the baby, but he's so far from that and has been for so long.

Cooper -- I honestly cannot wait to see what you do and where you go in this world.  Your energy, enthusiasm and endless curiosity may exhaust me, but I know it will serve you well.  You possess a confidence I could only dream of having.  You are already smarter than I am, and I think it's best if I just go ahead and accept that.

I have no doubt you will do great things in this world.  I just hope the world is ready.

Skiing

 We took the kids skiing for the first time - and they loved it!  Mama don't ski - so P and I had a good time snuggling and watching the kids at ski school.  P may or may not have nearly lost a finger or two due to frostbite, but I'm trying to forget about that part of the trip.  I couldn't believe how much the kids loved it -- 6 1/2 hours of ski school and they didn't want to stop!  Ella must not take after her mother. 

Baby Carmen and P eating kitchen utensils.  Yum.
