Spring Break in Seoul – Day 5
—
by
Day five started with the Im sisters sampling the breakfast buffet. My aunt has a lot of friends and a very busy social schedule, so she was off shortly after to make her rounds. The rest of us went to Namdaemun Market for a bit. Olivia is quickly falling in love with shopping in Korea.…

by
The kids had three days off last week for conferences, which included 12 on our birthday. We enjoyed a great birthday dinner at Che Fico Parco Menlo. After one last conference on Thursday morning, we departed for a fairly easy drive to Tahoe. It was dumping snow for about two days, which made for some…

Dave and the family were on the West Coast touring schools. We were happy they had time to see us as the kids are now BFFs from SJC. We missed Paula and Luke. If anyone chooses a school around here, they always have a place to stay.

—
by
Matt invited the gang to Tahoma for a ski trip. While everyone wanted to be there, only four of the best managed to pull it off. Four is the number of sides to the puzzle we finished, as well as the perfect number for Euchre. We skied Palisades and Alpine Meadows before Jud had to…

WB Ski Trip to Utah – 2024

I haven’t skied with this crew since our big trip to Austria in 2020. Looking back, we used to go to Utah pretty often together. We had 3 bluebird days at Canyons and Deer Valley. Somehow we managed to get on the mountain earlier on the morning we flew in than on the day we…

We were thankful to spend most of ski week up in Tahoe with the Moons. We had a couple powder days and a couple groomer days, which was perfect. The kids have yet to outgrow each other, but they may have outgrown us as they often preferred skiing with their friends on the mountain. Thanks,…

U of M Ski Trip to Vail – 2024

Had another super fun trip to Vail with the Michigan crew. We were missing a few team members, but those who made it went as hard as they could, which means slow and steady. The snow was great and we covered the entire mountain. Durbin and Allard finally broke their winning streak. I’m not sure…

Long Weekend in Tahoe

Our ski season is off to a slow start. There wasn’t anywhere worth going during the holiday break, so we enjoyed some down time at home with Luna. Thankfully we finally got some snow last week so we headed up to Northstar for the weekend. I saw that Brian and Juliet were up there and…

U of M National Championship … at Home
—
by
Virtually everyone we knew was in Houston for the National Championship, except these guys. The Idemas were just coming home from a trip (through Houston?!?) and Shawn was in town for business. It was still fun to watch together and couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. GO BLUE!

Olivia’s 17th Birthday
—
by
The one upside of having nowhere to ski this holiday break was spending Olivia’s birthday at home. This is perhaps the first time in her life she was able to celebrate with her friends on her actual birthday. Last year we went to Che Fico in SF with my mom and Jen. This year, we…

Annual U of M Holiday Party – 2023
—
by
Jenn and Michael graciously hosted our annual holiday party with Michigan friends. Every detail was amazing and we’re especially appreciative of Michael’s 21-hour effort on the brisket. Our potluck was a delicious success, even if everyone brought a shrimp dish. Jenn decided the order for our white elephant gift exchange would be by birthday, outing…
