Our Powder Puff-Grandpa Ed would be proud

So, we have spent alot of time skiing this year and our little Glacier loves it. This picture was taken by a friend who was up there with her family. She is standing just like her daddy does when he is waiting for us at the bottom of the hill. She so looks up to him as a skier and watches every turn he makes. She is now trying to do the "hockey stop" so she can spray us at the end of her stops. What can we say...we are both very proud parents and since we named her Glacier we are proud she stands up to her pretty name.

Oh and buddy (Canyon)...he is mastering the art of keeping Oma busy. He loves to hang out with her and Sophia. I think Oma has had her fair share of kid shows, but I know she enjoys her special time with him.

It has been a good winter for The Raymond family after such a hard summer. We still miss our Esther and think of her each day, but we know that someday she will be on the slopes with us, or if she is like her little brother hanging out with Oma.

Hi!
I'm trying to catch up on all the news. Absolutely love how Glacier has taken to skiing so much. I don't blame you for being so proud of her! You are right - G.pa Ed would be proud and delighted to see her skiing so well. I can still remember when Rich was learning to ski! Boy, did he ever like to spray people! Rich and speed just went together. Still do! I am so hoping we can get down to see Glacier ski before the season is over. Wishing you sunny days and soft powder.
Love,
Donna
