Dallas Skiing

Last weekend Gina came up and saw us at the ski hill. She shot this video of Dallas Jay skiing. Too bad this is the last weekend!!!!

The Spring

I love Spring skiing! It is the best. Nothing like skiing in warm weather with the sun on your face. LOVE IT! I especially love getting to enjoy it with my son and Ace. I can't wait until Sofia is there too! We have been plugging along at our house. Ace is in the midst of tax season and working as hard as ever, which we truly appreciate, but miss him. I am doing a project for work to help track our success and efficiency (Yeah me!) and Dallas has started to take speech therapy. He is really enjoying going to school and is growing right before our eyes. Sofi is walking and her favorite thing is to talk on the phone. She gets so excited and yells hi and waves at the phone. She knows it's her connection to Ace and packs the phone anywhere I'll let her. She loves her daddy. Brooke took some great pictures at Sofi's birthday party (thanks Brooke). That is the jist of life at the call house. Laugh out Loud fun!

Sofi turns 1!!!!!!!!

Well, it’s been a loooong time since we’ve written, and I apologize. We’ve been super busy with keeping up with tax season, skiing and trying to keep Sofia under control! That girl is nuts! She has figured out how to walk, and she is all over the place. Typically wherever Dallas is, and she wants to play with whatever he is playing with, and wants to be right up in his face. Her favorite thing to do is to put her finger in his ear. Let’s just say, we’re blessed he’s so tolerant.

Yesterday was her first birthday. I can still remember waking up to go to work at four, not finding Jyl in bed, and thinking to myself…really…today huh? Jyl came in and told me she’d been having contractions, but that she was probably fine to go to work. I asked how far apart they were, she said….get this…8 min. Yeah, um, you’re in labor, and will have the baby soon, so I don’t think you really need to be working in people’s mouths with razor sharp instruments while you just “grin and bear it!” Needless to say, Sofia B Call came before noon that morning! And hasn’t really slept since! It’s our lot in life.

This tax season has been so much easier on me than the last because I’ve made a real effort to get up to the ski hill once a week. Dallas Jay is skiing so well and we’re really impressed with his progress. There’s something to be said for having passions in life, and I couldn’t fight the fact that I need adrenaline, and I love to ski. It’s been a real blessing that Jyl and I are able to now share this love for the sport with our kids. Next year we may even see Reese and Sofia up there! We’ll see how well Sofi gets at walking without falling first! Hahahaha.

Well, enjoy the pictures, and thank you Carrie for Sofi’s John Deere Boots. Very cute…wait…as D would say… “not cute, Dad, cool.” The picture of Sofia all messy is her birthday cupcake adventure. The picture of her with her hair done up was when D was supposed to be washing his face, and decided to help Sofi “have cool hair like me.”
