A 10 year celebration

    Harriet turned 10 on March 1rst with poise and grace.  10 is a magical age of approaching the world as ones own self.  It is also a numerical milestone, leaving single digits behind.  She has been digging deep and is adapting well to our new surroundings.  It is rewarding to be wingman as she begins to see from a different perspective, internally and externally.

 There is still some missing of friends back in Vermont and birthday season brings this to the surface.   She meets this by writing letters, phoning, or Skype.   And then moving on.

     For her party, we decided to embrace all the snow and go sledding - luge style!

     Mama had to keep her eyes closed and accused me of creating graduate level sled runs.   We ran the banks and jumps till everyone lost steam and then headed back to the house alive - unscathed even!

     The cake theme this year celebrated our surroundings.  Fun to make and yummy to boot!
