July 1st, the last time I blogged! Gosh, I've missed it but a hiatus was needed. I even took time away from taking my camera EVERYWHERE! It was time to sit back and enjoy time, people and situations around me without picturing or writing about them.
Getting back to the task at hand.....the last few months.....let's see, nothing too crazy to report since we got home from Europe. Although last Friday was a great week in the Rokos Family but I'll get back to that in a minute. School for Stella started in August which brought along with it Fall soccer and prep for the ski season. Troy spent a month in Chile (which he loved) and I did the mama thing. With Fall rolling into Colorado, the weather brought along some MAJOR rain (it was kinda big news around here). We weren't affected up here in Breck but my parents and a lot of our friends in Lyons were drastically affected. My parents to this day (six weeks later) still have no phone service or road to their house. They did however fair better then a lot of people down in the canyon and in town. Their house is still standing (thanks to some quick digging of tranches in the middle night by mom and dad) and they are healthy and happy so, all is good.
Stella as of two weeks ago started early release from school which means skiing has started. Can you believe it, it's here (the ski season). Troy and Stella are now on snow 5 days a week training. It's pretty exciting. I'm hoping to hop on snow this coming weekend and start taking some pictures! Woot!
Which brings us to last Friday night and my dads induction in to the Ski Hall of Fame. Along with 4 other inductees he was honored and inducted into amazing group of past and present legends in the skiing community. It was a great evening filled with many friends and most importantly our family being together, including my brother coming into town from New York. It was all pretty awesome!
My dad, along with Chad Fleisher, Larry Zimmer and two others received not only the honor of being inducted but also a life time pass to all Colorado ski areas.
Love these guys!
Especially this one.
Last but not least, one last picture of Stella from Paris this summer. She is loving being back on snow and has two months of training 5 day a week before her first race of the season. That's a lot of snow time which is awesome.
Hope everyone is happy, healthy and doing great!
With much love and gratitude!
