Liz and I quickly got thrown back into "real life" here in CB. Liz has been working full-time for the Orthopedic Surgeon and she's loving it. She's learning a ton and putting her medical skills to the test every day. I worked all summer on Bike Patrol - we built some ridiculous trails this summer - and helped a lot of injured bikers. We finished the most extreme trail CB has ever seen just in time for the end of the bike season - it can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=85528&id=1528307561&l=5ce9459107
We went to a bunch of beautiful weddings - Liz's cousin in Vail and our good friend's Heidi and Daniel in Santa Fe. We flew back East to the Outer Banks to meet our new niece Eliza Grace. She's adorable.
We've been skiing a few times out in the backcountry while we wait for the ski area to open (which happens soon... the 24th). Ski Patrol training starts on Monday!

We're excited to show CB to the new Frenchie that is here - Claude, his wife Delphine, and daughter Eugenie!
We're heading to Grand Rapids for Thanksgiving. Hopefully we get to see you all sometime soon!

Some photos...
Since June eh? Well - if anyone even appreciates getting these updates let us know... the world of facebook has definitely hurt the blog...

So here are the final set of photos from our trip to France. This album starts in the SW of France in Moliets where we surfed - or tried to surf with our friends from Courchevel from the Olympic Hotel...
We then headed back East to Canadel where our good friend Victor has a house - it's on the French riviera just West of St. Tropez. We had a great time there with Victor and Aurthur. After spending some quality time in the South of France we headed further East into Italy where we met up with our good friends Andrew, Rich, and Jo.
Andrew restored an old water mill in the hills of Tuscany. It is absolutely amazing. While we were there we earned our keep by helping to install a new golf green. We hiked the hillsides, traveled around Tuscany, met amazing people, made brickoven pizza - and, in general, loved Italy.
We stopped briefly in Pisa and Cinque Terra before heading back to Courchevel for our last few days there. Charley had her way with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and left it in a pile of debris
I got to fly around Courchevel and then land on the runway there - it was insane... here's a pretty good video of the whole experience - obviously not us - but still impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNFNFZq2BFY
Mitch took great care of us the entire time we were in France - we miss him! We went to Annecy for our last two days in France. It was the best season of our lives by far... an experience of a lifetime. Nous sommes très chanceux... We are very lucky.
