The past few months were unusually

special for Jordan and Madison.  In early February they went to Taos, New Mexico

for their annual 6-days of ski lessons

at this incredible ski resort.  Madison,

who is four, almost has her parallel turns down and for the first time began skiing

with poles.  Her older brother, Jordan,

who will be ten this May had a blast with

his instructor, Jessee, going down many

of the advanced black and double-black ski runs Taos is most famous for.  In March Jordan went to Hawaii, and had

adventures like horseback riding in the

Kona mountains and riding behind the

guide in a two-hour ATV ride on dirt

trails through cow ranches.  He faithfully

did his homework daily, and his little league coach and father took him to Hawaiian

little league fields for five make-up

practices, so all in all he had a great

trip.  Jordan is playing Double A little

league with the Yankees and is one of

the teams pitchers, so he is very excited about the upcoming season.
