Once we got there we did have an wonderful trip. Had we had another sunny day, I think Gregorio might have taken the leap into (literally) Corbett's Couloir - quite the vertical piste...another time perhaps. We took a day off downhill and enjoyed the scenery and wildlife in the Grand Teton National Park. The clouds lifted and the sun came out for some iconic Teton photos as seen here. The biggest highlight for me (and possibly others) was finally seeing moose - but not just one, 7. At this time of year they are without antlers and somewhat hidden among the vegetation, so one will have to keep trying for the magical image!
Back in DC I think we have had at least two more bouts of snow. Needless to say, after I had washed and put away all the ski stuff. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get ahead and be organized!
During the latest snow storm, Gregorio took Isabella to Children's for her latest MRI. Results: all stable. We are now debating how we can maximize our summer in Europe - medical appointments and the fact that they won't release more than 4 weeks of the medication (it being a trial) are adding to the factors we need to keep in mind with our planning.
In other news Isabella is part of the children's chorus performing in an opera (Der Rosenkavalier) at the Kennedy Center tonight with Renee Fleming. Next week she is part of the school's chemistry team competing in the local final against several other schools. She is busy studying up her periodic table.
Tomorrow our clocks are springing forward to Daylight Saving Time, so surely spring will be here soon? Looking ahead to spring, we are seeking runners and walkers to join us at the annual Race for Hope on May 4th to raise funds and awareness for Brain Cancer. If you would like to join us or donate to this valuable cause please look for our team here: http://www.braintumorcommunity.org
Next MRI at the end of May/early June. We will update you when we have more news.
Happy International Women's Day, ladies!
