In March we had our first McGuire ski weekend at Blue Mountain with the little kids. Unfortunately, Craig missed it but don't feel too sorry for him as he ended up skiing in Calgary for a couple of days. I want to say a special thanks to Lisa Adkins who outfitted Avery in ski gear for the weekend - she loved the helmet and googles. It was a great weekend - the kids loved skiing and it was so much fun to watch them pick a new skill and take off with it. There were a few tears at the beginning when she fell but by the end of the second day she was skiing from the top to the bottom (with a tether on to slow her down during the steeper parts) completely fearless and loving every minute of it. She could have skied all night. Brianna and I talked about how much fun it is going to be in the future going on big family ski trips. The only blemish for the weekend was that McKinley was jumping on the couch and just before Grandma McGuire could put Finley down and tell Muddy to cool it he managed to fall and hit his mouth on the edge of the coffee table. Although his front 4 top teeth were obviously pushed back and displaced they weren't actually loose until a couple of days later when McKinley somehow managed to hit his mouth again on a car at daycare and knock one of them loose. So the next day we had to visit the dentist and get 2 teeth pulled. He is still at risk for losing another 2 but we have to go back for x-rays in the middle of May. So now he looks even more goofy than usual.
