Greetings from Switzerland! We are starting off the new year with a vacation in the mountains and we begin our journey in Verbier. We are visiting our Aunt and Uncle here in their hilltop hideaway, and they are so generous for putting us up yet again. We have spent the week skiing on the sunny slopes around Verbier and enjoying the fresh mountain air. The view is breathtaking and it is so refreshing to spend so much time together being active outside. Skiing is one of Matt's very favorite things to do and he is quite good at it. Teri, well, it will take a lot more time and practice for this novice to be able to ski down the mountain without too much trouble, but she'll get there.

More to come!...
