Today in SLC

Today in SLC:

Ruby learned to ride a pedal bike. We met a cute dog outside kate's school - but it wasn't really her birthday. I lifted weights (third time this week!). Andy roasted a chicken. We buried our first batch of bokashi in the garden. It looked like barf but smelled like pickles. Hopefully no animals will dig it up tonight.

Missing all of you!

Hi Rohan, Sally, Finn, Bini and Lee!

Life is back to normal. We've settled into our groove here and our days feel more predictable. I think we are even fairly close to being unpacked - both our boxes from NZ and all the stuff we put away to make space for our renters.

But now that it feels like we are really 'here', you all feel really far away and I'm missing you heaps.

I've been taking pictures to post so that we can share what we're up to. Mostly I've been snapping them with my phone which doesn't help my paltry photography skills but I'm going to post them anyway.

Here's what we've been up to: Andy and I have been doing some skiing on our own - last week we went ski touring, and today we skied at Alta with some friends. Both were powder days :-). Most of the snow has been falling in the mountains but we did get one big storm in the valley. Enough snow stuck to the sidewalk that the girls rode on sleds to school along with our neighbors. But mostly we've been getting around by bike. We went Geocaching in our neighborhood one day. Have you tried it before? It's a great excuse for walk. Kate is learning to read more all the time. Last week she started reading books on her own just for fun. We taught some friends how to felt soaps - feltworld has officially gone global. We got a new computer so Andy and I have been spending some time organizing our files and music library. Next I'm going to work on organizing our photo library. I'm sure i'll be posting some gems in the process.

Hope you are all well. xxxooo Megan
