The Munce Family: January 2018

New year new skillz.

We have been on the move in 2018, perfecting old skills and learning new ones, too. It is really fun to try new things as the kids get older, and to introduce them to some of our favorite things we remember from our childhood years. And you know what makes it even more sweet? When your cousins join in on the fun!

We've resumed skiing lessons, Sully took a few last year, but Greta was too young so had her first go this year. I also took Sully and Greta to a 'learn to skate' night at one of the local parks where they had instructors showing us the basics. I grew up on the ice, so it was really fun to 'hold' my own kids up. Yikes, that was a lot of work- but Sully got really good by the end and Greta loved licking the ice (yikes). I had a really hard time getting them off the ice when it was time to go.

We've also been bowling, open swim (to practice the skills they have learned at lessons), and last but certainly not least- Sully started paino lessons. We found David who comes to the house once a week for 30 minutes. The first lesson was hard to sit thought as he was learning the ropes, but we have been practicing every day and he is making great progress. Greta and Piper even like to take their turns practicing after Sully does. Im excited to see the progress over the coming years.

We're excited to see what fun 2018 has in store for us.

50 Flipping Years.

My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last Saturday. We threw a heck of a party. It was lots of work and lots of fun, and in the end it was worth every moment.

We had good food and drinks, beautiful flowers, a great photographer, and the best band. By the best, I mean horns, drums, two pianos, and very talented vocalists. The dance floor was full from start to finish. We had family only for the dinner portion and opened it up to close friends for cupcakes and drinks.

What an accomplishment- their commitment to each other has done so much for all of us. I know its not always easy, but they have made it work and we are all better off because of it. It was so much fun to celebrate them with our favorite people surrounding us.
