Back to Normal

Loads of fresh powder, crispy cold temps, gorgeous blue skies - what a perfect day to get back on my skis.

I have been apprehensive about this day for awhile for a few reasons. The post pregnancy body is still not "mine" and it has been enjoying days of lounging at home with the baby. Not especially good for pre-season training! It is also hard to leave the little guy behind, not only logistically, but emotionally too. Oh I know it's good for me to get away and do things for myself, but Kenzo is just so adorable and fun and entertaining these days.

Thanks for the turns, Fran - what a great morning! I feel almost back to normal again :)

First Trip for Kenzo

Kenzo and I ventured off last week to Portland, Oregon to visit family and friends. This is us at the start of the trip at the Reno Airport. Note the slot machines in the background.











Kenzo relaxing with Jiji at home...

















Being held by cousin Maya. Too bad we'll miss her 5th birthday party in January!
















Naomi loved holding Kenzo and she even cried a little when we left. Don't worry, you'll see each other again soon!












We got to spend a little time with Sumiko, Daren, Kaz & Nikko too!

Three Months Old!

Three months old!













Such a happy kid...the only time he fusses is when he's hungry or tired. He loves "talking" to his friends and toys and us too. He weighed in at 12 lbs. 6 oz. this morning.











Kenzo and I have been going to a breast feeding "class" once a week in Truckee since he was born. Kenzo gets weighed, I get to chat with other moms, and also get to check in with the amazing nurse, Cindy, on other subjects too. This is one of his friends from the class, Caylin...can you say future girlfriend?
