Mentor Program

A while ago Jia signed up for a mentor program where she was paired with a local university student from China. It was the perfect match. They both love drawing and architecture and just being together. Weiyu taught Jia paper-cutting tonight. Jia was ecstatic. What a great program.

Cross-Country Skiing

Starting the new year with my very favorite family activity - cross-country skiing. It has been such fun to watch the girls increase their skill level over the years from tears at certain hills to mastery of them. And I love that Willa points out all the animal tracks and birds along the way.
