Jack's birthday date!

For Jack's birthday we went to London to see Wicked and have dinner.  The show was fabulous!  We had a great dinner at The Cinnamon Club.  Walking around the city and enjoying each others company was a much needed break from parenthood.

Delicious, overpriced ice cream that we bought during intermission

Skiing in St. Anton, Austria

Jack loves to ski and since there wasn't much skiing back in Maryland and there isn't any in England, as an extension of his birthday present, we went on a little ski trip.  We waited until the first day of spring to go because the hotel rates were much cheaper.  Going later in the season was a gamble with the weather that we didn't win. It turned out to be a little too warm for really good skiing.  We were still able to enjoy the beautiful town and mountains.  Jack went skiing and Lyla and I enjoyed playing in the snow.  All in all it was a good family trip.

Lyla chillin' on the plane enjoying her chips. If I were this small then I think air travel would be much more comfortable.

Lyla wasn't too sure about the snow.  She didn't like when it got on her.  She said that she didn't want to get dirty. :)
