Thomas saw this video today and after viewing it a few times and shaking his head, he asked me calmly, "So, you just let her go?" It made me wonder, am I a bad parent? Have I just been terribly lucky that Kyra didn't break a limb flying off that lip or Ethan barely one years old was strong enough to hold onto those rings for a series of shots. At any rate, I hope my kids will one day be proud that they tried to skateboard at the age of one/three or hiked to the top of Mt. Baldi at the age of fourteen months/four. This shot below was taken to celebrate Kyra's first solo hike (meaning that Daddy didn't have to carry her) to the Mt. Baldi Summit.
Here are some of Thomas' favorite moments from the year:

My parents were exactly the opposite of you. I feel like I wasn't ever allowed to do ANYTHING. That can't be true, but...there definitely wouldn't have been a moment where I skied out of sight. In fact, there wouldn't have even been a moment where I skied. :)
That video is adorable, by the way. Keep posting this stuff. Since I can't play with the children in person anymore, your blog is how I keep track.
Loved the pictures (and video). It's great to see them having a blast. I frankly would have let Kyra continue down the hill (but hoping she stops before hitting that highway I saw in the distance). You won't find great skiers growing up in Florida. It takes being in an area that allows them to cultivate their talents and supportive parents introducing them to these experiences. Looks like they have a bright future on the slopes. Alaskan Korean ski bunnies.
