Skis and Snowboards

Could you ever believe Sam would try skiing!? Well, this past weekend we took a weekend visit up to Granite Peak on Rib Mountain in Wausau, WI. For Sam and I (Mark), this was our first time skiing and snowboarding. (I have no interest in skiing.) I took a snowboarding lesson which was an hour long and I caught on very quickly. Becky chased Sam down the mini-hill to make sure he didn't crash into anything. Sam had a blast riding the "Magic Carpet" up to the top of the mini-hill, almost more than riding the skis down the hill.

After a few runs down the short hill, I was ready for the full beginners hill. My brother and I rode the ski lift to the top and cruised down the hill will only a few falls...and no face plants...not kidding.

Becky took some awesome pictures from the day.

 

  

  

  

 

Sam's New Room

Sam received an upgrade for his bedroom. We gave it a swanky paint job, some cool stickers, and a new bed, dresser and night stand. He also moved down the hall to where our guest bedroom used to be, so we no longer have a guest bedroom.

He loves it and loves being in a huge bed. Pictures below show pretty much every angle. You can click the photo for a much larger version.

Arriving this July...

Baby Sewacki. We are excited to announce our family of three will be expanding to a family of four. We are expecting a baby July 9th. Based on our earliest ultrasound, baby looks healthy so far. We won't know the sex until the next ultrasound in February, but Sam is convinced he's having a little sister. We'll be sure to update with pictures and news as we get them.
