Rachel cracks us up

Rachel tired on the 3 person chair after a long run
Rachel is 29 months old, and gets funnier to us all the time.

M: "Rachel, do you want to go ski another run or do you want to go down to the library?"
Rachel: "hmmm.... let's review the option.  Do I want to ski again or go to the library...  I choose library."

Friend: "Rachel, what do you want the baby's name to be if it's a boy?"
Rachel: "Well... Donner.  But it's going to be a girl, actually, and the baby will be called Blitzen."

(She has actually told several people now she is having a baby sister named Blitzen! and I think most people think we are actually having a girl and that we are actually going to name her Blitzen.)

Saturday we drove up to Keystone, did a few runs, and then Rachel and I returned to town in hopes to go to the library while Jason skied.  Rachel fell asleep in my arms in the gondola, and then slept peacefully in the wagon all the way to the car!



Can you find Rachel sleeping in this mess of ski gear?

Sadly, moving her from the wagon to the car woke her up, so her whole nap was about 20 minutes.  But that's what we get trying to do what we do.  She did sleep on the car ride home, which proved to be a fine drive without any I-70 craziness.

See this video of Rachel entertaining herself on I-70 in car seat.  She can show you how she likes to start every word with the letter 'F' right now, just to be interesting.  Eg. "Can we fay food-night to this fenguin?"


Sunday we had a visit with some of the Oliver family.  We went to Jeannie's house (Ray's cousin) to meet Lin Oliver(Jeannie's brother/Ray's cousin), Debbie Oliver and their 3 boys.  This was my first time meeting these folks and now think I have met the entire Oliver family.  We had a lovely brunch together.
