It was so good to get to go home for the first time in a year! We had the most wonderful time down south spending time with family and friends. We love y'all all!

Moose in Our Road!

On the way home from puppy school on Tuesday, we came across this little moose on our street leading into our neighborhood. It wasn't scared of us at all! This Winnie's first moose sighting, and she went crazy. The moose walked away after she started barking at it. :)

May 10, 2009 Happy Mother's Day to our Mom's and Grandmother's! We love you!

We have had an absolutely wonderful first year up here in Alaska. We can't believe it has already been a year since we left! We are having so many fun experiences we couldn't have anywhere else. It definitely has taken us some adjusting to the climate change, but believe it or not, we've acclimated and are used to it now. :) School is almost out for the summer, and Tai
is really enjoying his new job up here. He is getting to fly a lot more now. We also have a new addition to our family! She is our sweet little black lab cross, Winnie. She definitely keeps us very busy. We are so excited about coming back down South here in a week and a half!

Easter Sunday and our new pup :)

Finally to Fairbanks!
