Well – earlier this year, err… late last year, we came across a seriously great deal (<90% discount) on boots and skiis that would work for Tana to learn to ski on for this season and next season at least.
Today was our first day up and Tana had a ball – is taking to it quite quickly as well! Still working on the stopping and turning, but hey, not bad for about an hour or so if instruction.
and a video – yup, going multimedia!

This post opened the flood gates to my childhood memories. Up on Mnt. Hood skiing my heart out!!!
Great work Tana
I hsve just spent the better part of an hr. reviewing your blog. I just stumbled on to it. Love seeing pictures of your beautiful family. Looking forward to seeing you all again. I love the way you are parenting. Wish I had had the same skills, but it is what it is, or “was what it was” or doing the best I could with what I had to give, which was a lot of love…You will be hearing more from me.. Love you “All”
