Austrian Birthday Celebration!

Last weekend we celebrated our birthdays in Innsbruck, Austria with our wonderful friends Adam and Kristina. We drove the four or so hours together in a very official looking Scott Sports van (which made us feel very sporty and important) and stayed in a lovely hotel in Hall, Austria, just a bit away from Innsbruck. 

We skied, enjoyed the beautiful hotel spa, treated ourselves to some delicious Austrian cuisine, rode some "fun"iculars and explored Old Innsbruck. 

Cora had a great time tagging along and loved being the center of attention. She is also getting a lot better on her skis and is finally figuring out how to balance and go by herself a little bit. Teaching her how to ski is becoming just as fun as skiing on my own, which is pretty cool! I think by next year she will be cruising! 

Here are a few photos of our February, as well as our trip to Austria! 


Skiing Grindelwald for my birthday!

Smelling mommy's birthday roses!

Patti's 2nd Birthday Party was a blast. Cuteness overload.

I love that she still sleeps on the train so I can read!

Pretending to be a mountain shark, of course.

Soooo tired.

January Blur

January was a bit of a blur, mainly due to jet lag and the exhausting feat of trying to get back into our Swiss routine. Now that it's finally February, we feel much more grounded, rested and organized. But, we did manage to squeeze in some fun while we were acclimating back! 

Afternoon walk in the snow around Schwarzenburg.

Christmas Videos

As always, I wish I would have taken more videos, but here are a few:










Idaho Christmas!

Over Christmas we were very lucky to have spent almost two full weeks in snowy Idaho! Nat's parents recently bought a beautiful house in Hailey and we all had a fantastic time staying with them. We skied almost everyday, sledded, watched bunnies, celebrated Christmas and rang in the new year in Sun Valley style with all our buddies and Nat's family. It was a truly wonderful two weeks and I can't wait to be back, hopefully soon!


Daddy made it out for the whole time too!

As well as an adorable puppy!

And lots of other great stuff!
