Here and There

 Three snapshots, three events:

During some errand running, Nana and Papa dropped in
for lunch at Pikes Peak Brewing Company.

Jonny ended up at Scheels (and Sushi Ato) somehow.

And Fina is in the midst of moving into her new apartment!

25" of Snow

One official report said this morning that the Northgate-to-Baptist-Road area got 25" of snow in the last 36 hours or so! I'm pretty sure that's a record for us since we moved here in 2017. It was also Pi Day (yesterday)! Oh, and beware the Ides of March (today).

Remaining safely indoors

The hot tub was delightful

Angel Mist Park, a few doors down from us.

Notes

Nana and Papa enjoyed a leisurely brunch at Notes, complete with live jazz.

Wrestling Medal, Oz, and Cookies

It was a big day! Griffen took 1st Place at the final Wrestling Tournament of the season. Meanwhile, Antonio and Lexi continue with Wizard of Oz rehearsals. And Nana and Jonny baked some delicious chocolate chip cookies that were ready just about the time everyone got home.

In the upper left is Brahm's medal for taking
third in State for wrestling (a couple weeks earlier)!

Recent Awards and Projects

Antonio earned a "Superior" trophy at All-State Choir. Check out his new glasses, too. David tries to explain his Mandarin homework and shares a recent Family Tree project. (Our apologies for the various photos missing that we could not locate in time.)

Some Weekend Activities

A myriad of activities this weekend in between Wizard of Oz rehearsals, church, etc.

Nana and Papa visited Saltgrass Steak House.
The lightly-fried green beans were great.

We picked up Catan Starfarers recently!
Wow, great game! Original Catan on steroids!

The Littles made pretzels (with Nana).
Including a nice little mustard sauce/dip.

 

Once Every Four Years

Once every FOUR years, FOUR by Brother Luck throws a "Once Every FOUR Years" dinner party! And this Leap Year was no exception... This year's beverage partner was Jackson Hole Still Works. As it turned out, Brother was out of town, but his chef partner, Ashley Brown, and her crew did a marvelous job. Too bad we missed visiting this distillery when we were in Jackson Hole last year!

The Espresso Martini and the
Cross Venture were the bomb!

Scallop Crudo

Aromatic Brined Pork Tenderloin

Strawberry Rice Pudding

Kids will be kids.
