Big Sky, Montana



Well, we just returned from an amazing trip to Big Sky, Montana. Ellis worked very hard to write a paper for the IEEE conference. Emrey and I just got to tag along. There were many highlights to the week, including AMAZING skiing, show-shoeing, sledding, and hot tubbing! But, the highlight of the week, by far, was Emrey walking! It happened friday night, when we were all hanging out by the fire...she just started going...and never looked back, she rounded the corner of a chair and disappeared! Since then, she has just gotten better and definitely does not want to go back to crawling! She looks as if she's had a bit too much to drink when she walks,swaying from one side to the other, trying to get her balance. She is adorable and doing such an amazing job, I am sooo proud of her!


Preparing to snowshoe, probably overdressed a bit!

Sledding with our friend Blake


Every time we walked by this bear, Emrey yelled, "Bear...Rooarhh"!
