We have had some pretty cold weather lately, and some great, white fluffy snow. It makes us miss Montana so much, and we have reverted to our Montana winter survival techniques: get out in the winter! Sunday we went cross country skiing. It was a little sticky, but so fun and beautiful. Sage had a fantastic time romping and sprinting through the snow. He absolutely crashed when we got home. He doesn't have as many opportunities here to run to his heart's desire as he did in Montana, so we try to find opportunities for that. He would run way ahead, then turn and sprint back towards us, making powder sprays with each turn.
Sage stayed nice and warm in the coat he got for Christmas from "grandma". Plus he was easy to spot in the woods when he got far away.
Sprinting down the trail between Joe and me.
Joe had the day off and got the chance to go ice climbing with some friends. I was pretty jealous, but hopefully will go sometime soon. He had a great time, and we love that we have found so many new friends here who are into outdoor adventures as well.
We are planning to try our first downhill skiing, West Virginia style, in a couple of weekends. We will try not to be too snobby about it.
Ellen, your house is coming along so nicely! What a special thing to put love into. Good luck!

ps -- ice climbing looks so scary!
