a life perfect

Life is incredibly busy these days. The quarter ended with a bang and before I knew it I had 120 finals and 12 papers to grade and final grades to submit. I picked up my sis-in-law, Cindy, and mom-in-law from the airport and we all headed up to the mountains for some spring skiing.



You read that right. Double black and we're not scared. It was a win-win situation to say the least. Albert's mom got some alone time with Abby...



while Albert, Cindy and I hit the slopes. See here how Albert and Cindy enjoyed the scenery...


The snow was slushy but we had 2 great days of skiing and it was wonderful to see family and have them see Abby. When we got home, we went on a bike ride through Palo Alto and I had yet another moment where I just felt a lot of love from Abby:
