It has been an amazing two weeks, and I’m so excited to share some of the things with you. The kids were on break and we decided to spend a couple of good family days together. Right now I am out of town in Genoa, NV which is right outside Lake Tahoe. It has been a beautiful couple of days here. In fact, at this very moment I’m sitting by a fire watching big flakes of snow fall from the sky. We didn’t go up to Kirkwood today because of all the snow advisories and we didn’t want us to get stranded up there. Now we are hopeing it will clear by morning so that we’ll be able to make it back to San Jose.

As many of you know this is the year we took up snowboarding. We had a great day yesterday. There was so much powder. I’ve never skiied or snowboarded in so much fluff. What was great was that it gave me a chance to overcome some of my fears since falling was like landing on big piles of fluff. It was crazy, I’ve never experienced such a feeling of floating. Some people said it was similar to the feeling you have when you surf. It was awesome. Not sure If I’ll make it to the hills one more time this season but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
