A walk about & a bath

Phoenix really likes to get outside for fresh air. On his fussiest days, we can just put him in the Bjorn and take a stroll outside. He settles right into the walk about in the brisk mountain air.

"SIR, your bath is ready..."

After a long walk, it's time to enjoy a good soakin' in the tub.

(Phoenix requested that we keep this photo *clean*)

The month of the FAM...

So, as most of our local friends are aware, we disappeared during the month of January. This is fondly referred to as the

Month of the Family.

From the beginning of the year, we were blessed with visitors starting with Aunt Monique and Grandpa Joe. Then we had Aunt Vickie and Cousin Casey, followed by Grandma MJ. Finally, Grandma-V and Grandpa-G. Whew!

It was great to see everyone and we were really worn out!! The snow was still deep in our driveway, so some were brave enough to make the daily snowshoe trek to cabin. Fortunately, no one had to stay in our small space and the local Best Western ended up cashing in on our guests. We really need to set up a frequent flier account with them!

Here are a few snapshots...

Grandpa Joe

sorry... bad lighting on this sweet photo... blow it up!

Phoenix lifted his head for the 1^st time to get in a good chat with Aunty Monique

"Ewwww... Aunt Vickie! Was that you?!!

“I love my Cousin Casey” !

Phoenix loves giggling with Mema-MJ

Grandpa Koebel does like hugs!
