Baby Sarah

Amanda had a 27-week ultrasound this morning. Everything is progressing well and normally. Baby Sarah is up to two and a half pounds and about 14 inches long. Today's technology is quite amazing, compared to what it was when Jeff and Kristin were born. Sarah yawned and blinked her eyes several times during the examination. We could see eyebrows, fingers, knees, etc. The doctor commented that she was cute (hard to tell from the sonogram, however) and, based on her movements, contented and well. (The still sonogram is a bit more distorted than the actual live sonograms). We have been busy for the past month, or so, preparing the nursery. Baby Sarah is expected toward the end of June.

Skiing in Crested Butte

I recently had a great ski trip to Crested Butte in Colorado with Rob, Kristin, Will, and Jack. The snow was abundant, with nearly six additional inches falling while we were there - powder, packed powder, and some groomed slopes. Many of the Colorado resort areas are suffering as a result of the dismal economy - and Crested Butte is no exception. There were no lift lines and many of the runs were practically deserted. Rob and I skied, Will and Jack boarded, Kristin did both (not at the same time).
