This is me in February 2021:


Pretty much the only thing that has changed is the fact that I am now aware of Mom constantly taking my picture.

This is me and Dad in February 2016:

Here we are in February 2021:

I sure do love my books, so between a trip to the library and a new book from Yaya and Papa, this was pretty much an awesome week. (Dad still has his ski clothes on because I refuse to wait until he has changed to read my new books.)
I also had some time to dress up. Here I am as an explorer:


Steve Jobs,

and Mr. Rogers.

As you can see, I am working on a capsule wardrobe.

I also did some skiing. On Saturday, most of the lifts were closed. Mount Bachelor received 122 inches of snow in February, with something like 2 feet coming this past week. That combined with heavy winds made it hard for them to keep up. We had a breezy, chilly Saturday of skiing, followed by AMAZING bluebird skies and warm temperatures on Sunday.
Here is the lift chair ‘bench’ at the nordic center on January 17:

And here it is (I’m basically standing on it) today:



DAD. Do not let Mom watch any more of the Annie Lebovitz Master Class. She is driving me crazy with the picture taking.

The Bigs don’t make my food anymore. If I say I want a snack, they tell me to make it myself. Lazy. My favorite right now is bagel with a great deal of butter and cinnamon sugar.

Yummy.

Other things we ate this week: refritos and maduros bowl,

Brussel sprouts with browned butter and black garlic,

and dal with Indian rice.

And here I am ripping it up:
Books are wonderful ways to relax and sit still and spend quality time. It’s better that you get your own snacks. That way you get what you want. Boy!! that’s a lot of snow!!! You are skiing awesome. I think I would like all the food made this week also.
Love the then and now! ❤️
My how you have grown. No skiing 6 years ago but now you are dominating those mountains. Good job!
What a reader. You take after your uncle and your mom and all your other relatives. You certainly have gotten a lot of snow this year. Hopefully next year is as good so Papa and Pop can get some lessons from you.
