We made it to Sundance. Brendan is being Super Dad (and sporting a scarf) while I am off most of the day in screenings and panels. I am with the other members of PAIFF meeting up with prospective panelists, filmmakers, etc. We had a huge day yesterday where we just got word that three time Academy Winner Walter Murch (editor for The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, English Patient…) will be working with PAIFF on panel and workshop ideas (and possibly a film). He is the caliber of guest that we have been aspiring for. Next, Coppola and Lucas! I’ll send a big update soon on how PAIFF has been taking off…
Tonight our dear friends are watching Page while we head off to a screening. The movie is called Like Crazy, a love story about an English girl and an American boy. I swear Pagie will look just like the actress Jennifer Lawrence (also the lead in Winter’s Bone) when she gets older.

Nan is the baby whisperer.
Dillon and Jack are so gentle with Page.

Steve called at 8:15.
“We’re at Coalbank Pass. We’ll be in Silverton in fifteen”
I was still in bed, but with the amazing help of Alex, I was able to change, breakfast, pack and get Page ready to get to the trailhead by 8:30.
Steve, Ian and Irene, Murray and Courtney took me on the Anvil circumnavigation tour. It gave us five long runs, with all but the descent into Ophir Bowl giving us nice thick powder when we found the north-facing aspects.

Alex and Page flew to Durango from San Francisco for the start of our two weeks in the snow. I was waiting for my girls at the airport when they landed after driving via Reno and Salt Lake City with all the gear you need for skiing and babies and skiing with babies.
Cheryl and Kennan invited us to a party on Saturday afternoon at their self-contained cabin on Molas Pass. We had to ski in, so we took advantage and took Page out in the chariot for an hour or two beforehand. I also got a quick lap in above the cabin. I agreed with all the locals that the snow was good (for Colorado).
Page was hot property with all the little girls and their Mums. The girls in the pictures are Roan and Sailor. Page loved interacting with them as much as they loved playing with her.
Page seems to be energized in the mountains. She has never been happier, nor more vocal.

We took Page back to my hometown of Milwaukee to see Grandpa Jim, and Uncle Cris and Cole and families. It was a great trip. Page was a trooper and did great on the flights. We even got a “Good job!” from a fellow passenger as we departed the plane. Oh, and if you are carrying a baby while going through TSA, you don’t have to experience the harrowing x-ray’s and searches. Bonus! We spent many hours relaxing at Grandpa’s house and Brendan even got to play some American football with Cris and Grandpa. Now we are back home and dreaming of our next trip to Tahoe in the next 2 weeks. There is tons of snow!!

She has been really good so far. I just hope she doesn’t get upset after her mother loses at Scrabble again!

A big day for Page. We took her to the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin festival.
She likes goats more than being propped up on a pumpkin for a photo shot.
Then on to the Half Moon Bay Brewery to celebrate Gary’s 40th. Alex’s school friends Kara and Dawn got to meet Page, and Page got to meet her first baby friend, Harper.
