Final yr, Chase, Ryan and my brother-in-law, Ross, went out to Breckenridge on a boys’ ski weekend on the finish of ski season and had a blast. Chase talked in regards to the journey at size and was thrilled when Ryan requested if he needed to go once more this yr. Ryder was all about it, too, and couldn’t wait to be included this yr. My brother-in-law met them on the airport in Charlotte on Wednesday throughout his layover from Jacksonville after which they headed onto Breckenridge the place they spent the following few days snowboarding… and battling altitude illness. Womp, womp.
After a implausible first day for Chase, he was sick for many of the second day with altitude illness which majorly bummed him out. Chase was so amped up and actually talked a mile a minute about his first day after we FaceTimed the primary night so I’m simply grateful he was higher by the third day and was capable of get in two stable days of snowboarding. As for Ryder, he was extra excited in regards to the outside scorching tub than something after I talked to him on the telephone. Haha!
Whereas the boys had been off in Colorado, I had a full home again right here in North Carolina. My mother, sister and nieces joined me, Rhett, Pepper and Fortunate for a ladies’ + Rhett weekend!

We’re actually past thrilled for his or her gang and I’m actually hoping to make my approach to Jacksonville in early March to satisfy my very first nephew and their extremely cherished little rainbow child.
