Greetings from Colorado!

Hi All! It's been great to hear all of the updates and see your photos from the day to day. I'm a bit overdue on this, but here are a few pics from over the past few months. It's been an exciting first winter in Colorado, from learning to telemark ski, a backcountry yurt trip, working with Jenna and Matt on the photography front, and moving into a new place near downtown Denver.

Mom came out and we couldn't resist a trip to the mountains to "shred the gnar" - or so Matt and I like to think of our amateur telemark and snowboarding skills. Turns out, Lady Di is quite the skiier. Jenna had a good laugh at the three of us learning, as it was early season. A few weeks later we roped Jenna into learning how to tele ski and ahh the role reversals enjoyed by Matt and myself : )



Two weekends ago, we headed to a backcountry yurt to celebrate Matt's 30th birthday. Yurts are pretty cool - you reserve one in advance, snowshoe or ski into them, and enjoy a weekend of woodburning stoves, intense games of scrabble and sudoko, and perhaps some extreme sledding. I've heard there are some greats in Northern Minnesota - I'd recommend it!



A view from inside the yurt. Talk about a view to wake up to!



And what would be a birthday without some cake. Us girls had some fun crafting this while Matt and his friends were out snowshoeing.

I hope all is well with everyone!
