Max and Esme

  I spent a few days this week at Woodloch, a retreat in the Poconos for a training workshop with my marketing team. It had snowed the day before we arrived and the first day we were there, keeping all the surfaces and tree branches covered in beautiful blanket of white. 

 The house has been quiet since Max and Violet left to go back to school (Hamilton and Denmark respectively) and Olive has once again taken up napping in the empty room. Esme is busy most days after school with her tutoring job, homework, and hanging out with friends, so Olive gets the run of the house while Peter and I are working during the day.
