We had the first day of the conference yesterday. In the afternoon group of us walked down

into the village of Les Houches to have a look around and have some hot chocolate. Fiona's

big jacket that I borrowed and my thermals have come in very handy so far. There is two to

three feet of snow everywhere, the temperature has been between zero and -10 degrees, very

cold if you are outside.

First morning of conference

Well it was freezing this morning. Beautiful view of the mountains though. I have to remember from now on though to dry properly my before i go outside as my hair froze when I was walking down the hill from my chalet to breakfast. I also took a photo of a Hilux buried in snow.

Monday 15th February

Lib spent the day with Granny today and they had lots of fun. She spent the day playing in the games room and drawing lots of pictures. She missed her brother and was very happy when it was time to walk to the bus stop to pick him up.

Brandon got his first reader today. He is starting on level 2. He will get a different one each night. He thinks it is just great. Brandon had time to talk today and he told everyone that his daddy is in France and there is lots of snow. He told them about the icicles in the photos daddy took.

By the way daddy he really likes the icicles, do you have any more photos of them? Also he wants a photo of daddy in the snow.

We are going swimming tomorrow afternoon after school. Both kids need new goggles and so we are going to get some and then try them out.
