Skiing with the Grandmas

T-minus two days!!!

The grandmothers arrived on Monday and I'm so glad that they're getting a chance to enjoy Utah's finest before taking on sole responsibility for our boys for like 5 weeks! They are brave souls indeed!

On Wednesday they went up to Sundance for the twilight ski (it starts at 2:30) and they shut the place down - apparently Sam just couldn't get enough! He's such a great little skier, and he really enjoyed showing Grammy and Gramma his favorite spots on the mountain. I'm just glad that they can still keep up with him... for now. I think that in a few more years, we'll all be racing to keep up!

Commuting on the Bus - Day 5

T-minus four days!

The bus is getting better... I found a route that is more walking but less waiting, and so I leave the house at 7 and stroll up to work at 8:45 (well, it's really more like huffing into work because most of my mile walk is uphill). I could get a faster route, but that would mean leaving the house before 7 and I'm just not sure I can handle that thought. Mornings and I have a tenuous relationship.

And coming home I leave the office at 4:30 and roll into the driveway a little after 6. Not bad. I'll probably keep trying to find faster routes, but this is livable.

Visas are Here!

T-minus six days!

The last piece of travel paperwork is in place - our Kazakhstan visas came today! Wahoo! Get these people on a plane, they're ready to meet their daughter.
