The Weekend - In Review

More bullets to summarize the weekend that was:

• Friday was ski day for Woods School, and there were some big milestones there. Emma did great. She learned to "skate" across the flat areas so that she can more easily move between lifts on the flat parts. She also, for the first time, went off with her friends and skied "by herself". Tim did great too. He went up the lift and did the "whole" mountain. I think part of the epiphany was getting rid of the poles. He's still a bit of a wildcard on the lift (his legs are so short he barely can sit on the seat). Cyndie said she usually puts her pole across in front of him and through the armrest so that he won't fall out when he's busy looking all around. Grandpa D went with too. A good time was had by all.
• Saturday Cyndie had a women's brunch at church. The kids and I (and Grandpa D) went down to Crystal Lake for cousin Sarah's 8th birthday party. Fun all around. We got back, and headed to bed. Laura and Gow were over for a night of Jack (tv show 24).
• Unfortunately, Jack was very start/stop as Emma was up almost immediately throwing up. She proceeded to do so frequently (every 30 minutes or so) for 6 hours!! Then she fell asleep and in the morning she was fine. The only thing we can think is that she got food poisoning somehow. She didn't have a fever or anything!
• We took the morning very slow since we didn't know how Emma would be. But by afternoon she was obviously better, so Cyndie took the kids to Emma's Brownie roller skating event while I had worship practice.

Good stuff all. Now we're back in the swing of things for the week ahead. It looks like we'll have relatively warm weather (high 20's/low 30's), and maybe a sprinkling of snow.
