New Years Resolution

For the longest time I was not able to come up with a good goal for this year. I think i just found it! Blogging about last year 2010 will be it. It was such a great year in so many different ways, full of travel and accomplishments. I took about 400 pictures in 2010 and I need to post many of them.

Below, starting from this Year's end...Christmas.  Alex has been asking for electric guitar, and he got it!  He plays it a lot, getting better and better every day.  His teacher Ken has a great passion for music and he is a great influence on Alex. 

Just before Christmas we went for a nice hike into our woods.  Alex found several arrowheads there in the past.  This last find was very special, because for the first time his mom found one too, finally!  It is a perfect one, pink and still quite sharp.  Alex says that the feeling of  finding an arrowhead is "like magic".  I got to experience it.  It is such a great  feeling, finding something so old among debris of nature and rocks.  I understand why Alex has been doing it for few years now.  When you find one, you keep wanting to find another one, so you keep looking and looking every time you go to the woods.  Whenever I run on the trail, my eyes wonder around looking for that perfect stone sticking out from somewhere and screaming to be picked up!  Pretty addictive...

Here, we are both happy, showing off "the precious"....

Above, is our favorite spot to look for arrowheads.  It is adjacent to our property, but belongs to Greg Martin, our neighbour.

This Christmas we went to Winter Park for skiing.  We had a wonderful time, as always.  In the past few years we were going to Copper Mountain, but the last 2 we skied at Winter Park with Tom's friends from Poland and their 2 wonderful girls, Natalia and Nina.  Alex is getting better each year.  I am so excited we get to go again this Spring Break, this time to Keystone.
