We went to see Grandma and Grandpa in Colorado over Spring Break. Our friends the Powers came with us, which was fun for all! We went skiing in Winter Park for just one day. All of the kids took lessons, including Ryan - his lessons were through the National Sports Center for the Disabled. They have a great program, and Ryan did OK - some meltdowns, to be expected, but he skiied and he said "had fun" afterwards. Next time will be even better.
The day we were to leave for Texas, a beautiful snow was falling. We took this family picture at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs on the way home. The snow followed us all the way back to Texas...in March...which was unusual.
I grew up in Wisconsin and Texas and married a Texan. We have 3 redheaded kids, age 5, 8 and 9. We live in a suburban bubble, with the kids active in swimming, scouting and more. One of our children has a genetic form of autism and mental retardation. I have been an active volunteer for several organizations close to my heart, including Early Childhood PTA, our local Special Ed PTSA, and Girl and Boy Scouting. I also work as a Postpartum Nurse and my hubby works as a Systems Analyst. When we have time, we enjoy geocaching and traveling around the country with our pop-up camper and exploring what is off the beaten path. I am sometimes outspoken and opinionated, and I definitely don't fit the mold of the typical suburban mom. I don't scrapbook, I don't wear makeup, I mow my own lawn, and my fingernails are usually dirty from whatever project has me going!
