Life is all about the timing. Last week, I was diagnosed with pneumonia which I never realized you could "catch". I thought pneumonia was something waiting in the wings for a good cold gone bad:
Pneumonia: Hey you, you in the trachea....come check out the lungs
Cold: I'm not supposed to go into the lungs, I'm not sure I could find my way back
Pneumonia: Just follow me......
So the nurse thinks I picked up pneumonia in one of the nursing homes I have been visiting for work and this happened right before the Texans headed up north for a ski vacation.
We soldiered on.....

Isak is a natural boarder, I'm sorry to say. We tried our best to talk him out of knuckle-dragging, but he would have none of it. This is a picture of his very first jump. It ended poorly but it's all about the glory, even if you take a hard fall It was a great visit, including meeting the french boyfriend. He was very gracious and did not compare Mt. Wachusetts to the French Alps, even once:
Sometimes you see your family through a stranger's eyes. I like what I see. Older cousins who watch out for their younger ones, sisters who reconnect over the miles, and so much laughter, you have to be careful not to pee your pants. Nothing foreshadows a joke like 40 years of history. The Texans came to town and it was a great visit. Happy trails, y'all

There's nothing like a good pant peeing laughter between sisters! Wishing you were feeling better for this, but looks like you had fun despite that pesky pneumonia.
