Storm #1

We're rejoicing in the first mega snow fall of the year, about 50cm has fallen since yesterday and it's still puking out. Unfortunately it's supposed to start raining later today... Oh well, the snowpack needs to be cleaned up a little anyway. Here are some pics from our walk this morning.

Winter

Feels like forever since we posted anything, but I guess it's just been a little over a week! Skiing has begun here and we're on a one day a week each now, we're both so jazzed to get out skiing that there isn't much room for compromise!!! Although I'm thinking we should put Tobin in daycare one day a week so we can get out two days each... Junkies! Not many new Tobin pics, but maybe we'll have to start adding some ski pics to spruce things up...

Tobin's fun new toy, ghetto style.

The usual pics of the Smallest Gill (aka Valentino Marmalade). Now that he has crawling dialed he's keen to walk every chance he gets. He's now crawling over to the couch (very ghetto, I'll have to be more cognizant of what's in the background...) and pulling himself up and traversing. He's definately getting busier and busier these days.

Quality music making time

Finally, Tobin can spend some quality time with his sassy surrogate auntie Erin, banging on boxes and eating plastic bags...

Crawling and Tobogganningnning

Tobin is now mobile! It's been pretty fun watching him develop his technique. He went from looking like the first fish emerging on to land, to disappearing when you turn your back, or try to change a diaper, all over the matter of a few days.
We also went up to the pass today to check out winter and see how the snowpack is shaping up. Ann-Marie went out earlier and skied up to Balu Pass and I came out after with Tobin and a sled so we could enjoy some sliding around too! It was fun to be up there again getting psyched for skiing! Fun to run into half the town out for their first day skiing too.

He's also been enjoying watching the world go by from the living room window.
