We made it to Sundance. Brendan is being Super Dad (and sporting a scarf) while I am off most of the day in screenings and panels. I am with the other members of PAIFF meeting up with prospective panelists, filmmakers, etc. We had a huge day yesterday where we just got word that three time Academy Winner Walter Murch (editor for The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, English Patient…) will be working with PAIFF on panel and workshop ideas (and possibly a film). He is the caliber of guest that we have been aspiring for. Next, Coppola and Lucas! I’ll send a big update soon on how PAIFF has been taking off…
Tonight our dear friends are watching Page while we head off to a screening. The movie is called Like Crazy, a love story about an English girl and an American boy. I swear Pagie will look just like the actress Jennifer Lawrence (also the lead in Winter’s Bone) when she gets older.
We had a lovely last night in Durango with some close friends. Page soaked up the attention from the kids and even got to go pillow and basket surfing. She LOVES being around people. We left early Friday for our trip across Utah to get to Sundance.

Alex and Page flew to Durango from San Francisco for the start of our two weeks in the snow. I was waiting for my girls at the airport when they landed after driving via Reno and Salt Lake City with all the gear you need for skiing and babies and skiing with babies.
Cheryl and Kennan invited us to a party on Saturday afternoon at their self-contained cabin on Molas Pass. We had to ski in, so we took advantage and took Page out in the chariot for an hour or two beforehand. I also got a quick lap in above the cabin. I agreed with all the locals that the snow was good (for Colorado).
Page was hot property with all the little girls and their Mums. The girls in the pictures are Roan and Sailor. Page loved interacting with them as much as they loved playing with her.
Page seems to be energized in the mountains. She has never been happier, nor more vocal.
What a fun first Christmas for Page. We opened our pressies on OZ time with Grandma and Grandpa Gibson. Lots of great gifts and Page seemed to enjoy ripping open the presents (and eating the wrapping paper). Thank you all for thinking of us, we hope you have a wonderful Holiday. We are hoping to get up to snow so we can use our presents, new skate skis, ski chariot, warm ski clothes for Page to ride in the Chariot while Mum pulls her, and lots more. Lots of Love and Best Wishes for the New Year! xoxo. Alex, Brendan and Page.
