Addition to our Tahoe family

Our extended Tahoe family grew by one (wee little one) a week ago today. The Hyams-Scarton(i) family blessed us all with a new baby boy to love. And the little guy must have been eager to meet us as he arrived a couple weeks early (and in barely enough time to make it to the hospital).

I introduce the sweetest thing to come out of the Truckee in the past two years:

Mason Milton Hyams
Born January 06, 2009
7lbs. 12oz and 21 inches long

He was welcomed into the world by his parents, Robyn & Milt and joins his big brother, Keelan.

Congratulations to the Hyams' & Scartons on your newest little wonder.

Old year, new year

It's been a busy break from blogging and I'm gearing myself up to hop back in. In the meantime, here's what we've been up to:

Celebrating the season

My friends, knowing me so well, bought me some fantastic gifts. The first one below is my most treasured as I raved about Tim a few blogs back.

Cooking

Our Italian New Year included homemade ravioli

Seafood Saturday with oysters and an unbelievably delicious Scallop Gratin

4 days on the slopes, some jackpot shopping trips and the arrival of my new entertainment center have rounded out the time.

Tomorrow I'll dedicate a post to our Winter Wonderland and all it's frosty glory...
