Lake Wenatchee skiing

Well, this post is late but I have to post it because it was such a fun weekend.

In Feb over President's Day weekend we took Dain over the mountains and through the woods to Lake Wenatchee and Leavenworth we went. We stayed at a wonderful little resort Beaver Valley Lodge while we were there.  Highly recommend it if you ever visit the area.   We had a really good weekend for cross country skiing!  W got some snow but also had clear days for good skiing. I hadn't been skiing in 2 winters so it was really good to go! Erik carried Dain on his back and Dain loved it!! He did so well. But he loves to be outside, gee I wonder why? ;-)  We bundled him up in some borrowed snowsuit/fleece bunting so he stayed nice and warm but they were a little short for our tall/long little guy so we added extra socks, leg warmers and boots.  At night we ate at the 59er Diner which was good and fun for Dain to watch all the people and try french fries and hamburger for the first time. (I know it's "bad" food but we don't eat it every day!)   Sorry again about the sideways pictures.  We still can't firgure it out! May have to switch blog sites......






Anyway, Enjoy the pictures:

1 yr old already?!?!?!

Dain Aksel Peters was born one year ago on March 11, 2011. It's hard to believe that he's already one year old! And it's been quite the year of adventure for all of us. We're so looking forward to enjoying so many more years with him.
We loved all the new experiences we got to enjoy with him this past year, including camping, flying on a plane several times, going to Germany, Minnesota, hiking with him, cross country skiing with him, teaching him to walk at 10 mos, watching all 11 of his teeth come in, spotting the fire engines from our big apt. windows anytime there's a siren and so many more things! He is growing so fast into a little man and boy does he know it. Lately he is trying to climb everything he can. 
We are so grateful for this amazing little person that God has blessed us with the opportunity to raise up into a man.  He is so special to both of us, we can not even begin to explain everything he means to us. 

So now enjoy some recent photos of our wonderful son!
Cute feet!
