Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

We had a wonderful hospital stay...

...but we were so glad to be home so that older siblings could meet their youngest brother.  Hospital restrictions did not allow anyone 18 years or younger to visit due to the flu season, so last night was the first time our whole family was together and eating supper around the table as a family of 9!

Snow Day

009
Snow days have been few and far between this winter....so Rocky and Moe decided to go where they KNEW there would be snow.....
006
....and they had fun skiing!  It's been 3 years since they've been skiing and they got their "ski legs" back right away.  Now, we are hungry to do it more!  This ski area is less than 1/2 hour away and we are wondering why we haven't visited it yet since our move!  Nacho is anxious to go and try things out!
