Our little skier

Okay, I'm starting to get the hang of posting video. I had been trying to skip the step of posting to YouTube first, but I think it's unavoidable.

So, here it is....Kellan on skis at Brundage for the first time!!!

You can't hear him in the clip above, but once Michael got up to him, Kellan was giggling and saying, "Funny! More? Funny!" Which I think is pretty sweet. As anyone who's learned to ski knows, it's important to keep a sense of humor.

All done, until next time.

Ripping up the slopes

We have a budding skier on our hands!

I admit I'm a total sap (I'm one of those who cries during certain TV commercials), but even I am a little mystified as to why this brings tears to my eyes. I guess if you boil it down to basics, the fact that Kellan snaps into skis and cruises down a hill on his own means he's growing up. It's at once thrilling and bittersweet. My baby is certainly not a baby any more.

Okay -- I've dabbed the tears away now. This post is meant to brag about how awesome he is on skis! I mean, just look at his face. He LOVES it. He kept saying "More? More?" after every "run" and giggled and said "Funny!" the few times he fell. What more could you ask for in a not-even-two-year-old skier?
