What's up with us?

I think it safe to say that we both had a great Christmas.  Jaden came back with loads of toys.  It was hard getting back into the swing of things.  Jaden's friend's were moved to a different class in Martial Arts and suddenly it wasn't the same.  After a couple of weeks of wanting to "throw in the towel," Jaden has been doing very well and was able to earn his Orange Belt in the Korean martial art of Ting Soo Do.  Gramum and Poppy got to watch him test on some of his forms and receive the new belt.  Jaden tells me he wants to hang up the old white one somewhere.  Like maybe the wall!
As soon as I figure out the problem, I will e-mail pics from my new-ish phone of Jaden at Martial Arts...
Jaden also went snowboarding/sledding at Pioneer Park last Friday after school for a short time before he started coughing too much and we called it a day. It was very patchy and not the greatest conditions but he was sicker at the beginning of the week and missed the initial meltdown and prime sledding conditions. Here's a few shots from the afternoon.
                              He got brave after a few rides down and tried standing on the board.


                                                               He was pretty good!

                                    There was already some jumps packed down and ready for good use.

Retrieving the runaway snowboard/sled from the creek.  Good thing he had on Muckin' boots.

Although we were only out for about 20 minutes, he had a lot of fun. 

Peace....
