Black Eyes, Blue Tears

Not much new to report this week.   Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom had an extended visit on Tuesday night as they watched Lily and Jack while Marcy and I went to the Caps game.  On Wednesday, Grandpa Maurice came into town and we had a nice visit.

On Saturday we headed up to Whitetail to go skiing for the day and to allow the kids to get their mountain legs back before our annual Colorado trip.  All went well until Lily was taken out a by a rookie snowboarder.  She and I were stopped waiting for Jack who had fallen down when a guy kind of lost control and took her out.  Unfortunately, as she was falling, his board came up and clipped her in the eye right above her goggles and below her helmet.  As you can see below, it left a temporary mark. She is on the mend now but it was very good fortune that she was wearing goggles and a helmet.

On Sunday, Jack and I went downtown with Grandpa Maurice and had a nice lunch. Lily was in Sunday school and then the two of us when to the Lady Terps basketball game.  After the game, we had a quick dinner out and everyone came home for an early  bedtime.

Special 40th birthday wishes to Uncle Stan today.

Not too many pics but there are a few videos below.
