More from MONTANA!

Here are a few more pictures from our trip back home. It was such a great trip...great to see everyone, and so wonderful to be back in Big Sky country. :) And...we were blessed with our first snow fall as a family of four. It didn't last long...but it was absolutely beautiful! Enjoy the pictures...

Daddy and Henri...all bundled up. 

I wonder what it might taste like...I wonder what it feels like. Hmmm...not quite sure.  

Lili on the sled. She wasn't so sure...but then again...riding in the snow in jeans really isn't that fun anyway.  

Sisters. 

Getting ready for Grandpa's birthday party...here is Nick teaching Henri how to throw the ball. Not sure if I really want him to learn that skill! 

Playing with cousins, Emma and Nick. 

Back on the rocking horse.  

I had my very own stool to stand up at the counter. It was a bit dangerous...but lots of fun! 

We decided to have cousin photos taken. Unfortunately, it was a total gong show. We tried in the morning...and Henri had a level 9 meltdown in the Sears portrait studio. It wasn't pretty. We thought after a nap...they might do better. No such luck. Group shot is of two screaming Ethiopians, and two shocked Seattle-ites. Oh well...it's a great memory. 

Nick (eating a pretzel), and his nostrils. 

Emma and hers... 

Pretty Emma at the party. 

Henri playing outside with his cousins. 

Me and Mindy...my friend from high school...we taught English together in Japan. Her oldest son Eli...and sweet Lili. 

Where is Lili? Wow. This is mortifying. Not only was she caught under the table eating the last cherry tomato...she was also trying to sip the last drops of beer from the recycling bin. Yikes. Hope this isn't a glimpse of what she will be like in high school and college.  

The clean-up crew. 

Hurry, hurry, drive the firetruck...Henri and his hat, courtesy of Herr Graf.  

Auntie Toots and Rudy. 

Emma and her Vinylmation...the Villian Chaser! 

Auntie Tante, Lili and Henri...still rocking. 

Getting ready to go on a roadtrip! 

Our beautiful Lili... 

Playing Ele-fun with Auntie Tante...it's a giant elephant that blows tissue paper butterflies out its trunk. Lots of fun... 

Deciding Rudy wasn't that bad after all... 

The only duet this piano has ever seen... 

The Missoula carousel. Go, Lili, go! 

Henri and Jeff...riding in the chariot. 

A future Cobber? Playing at the park. 

So beautiful....and cold. 

Emma and Lili... 

Grandma, Grandpa and the grandkids... 

We had a great trip...can't believe we were there and are already back. I'll post more photos soon.
