Thanksgiving 2007
It was a great time and what made it even more special is our friends Jen, Joe, and Ava were able to make it up from North Carolina. They were in Alaska for about 2 weeks and we had a great time catching up with them. They left Alaska to be closer to family but they just couldn't resist coming back to spend time with all of their Alaska Family.
Then on Actual Thanksgiving Day we headed to Delta to my sister Dawn's house and had a great meal and family time there. My Dad turned 60 on November 12th and we weren't all able to get together for it so we also celebrated his birthday. He seemed to enjoy it and absolutely loved being surrounded by his grand kids as you can tell by the photo.
We have had a lot to be thankful for this year. The three of us are happy and healthy. Also we have managed to live on one income so I can be a stay at home mom! I'm loving it too. This past fall Marc had achieved his goal of becoming the Chief of the Ester Volunteer Fire Department. I'm not sure if he expected it to happen this soon but he has a seemed to enjoy it so far.
Until next time, ta ta for now!

Halloween 2007
For Halloween this year Abby was a Fire Woman. I know very original:( I figure I better do it now because in years to come she will want to be a princess or something else girly. On Halloween night we dressed her up and brought her over to her god grandma's house to go trick or treating. She made out like a bandit. Yolanda and Re let her have free access to the goodie bowl and she picked every bag of plain M&M's out. This is really the only candy she has had before so she new exactly what they were.
So we had a fun Halloween and look forward to many more:)

Fun in the snow
This past weekend we brought her out to check out the cool white stuff that was sticking to the ground. She wasn't to sure about it but she thought it was pretty funny when her dad hit me with snowballs! With her new winter boots its like she is learning to walk all over again. I guess she isn't use to all that ankle support.
Until next time stay warm if your in Alaska or cool if your in the tropics of the lower 48. I can't believe how warm it is everywhere, except here of course. Whenever it is cold here it is hot down there and just the opposite. So I think we are in for a pretty cold winter if things don't change soon:) Take Care.

Birthday and Hunting
Abby loves to hang out with her cousins and chase them around. She did good until she decided to climb on a chair. She fell off and busted her mouth, blood was flowing and mom got whoozy feeling:) Later that night she was chasing Cody and Emily into the bedroom and ran right into the corner of the wall. Ouch! She bounced up pretty fast and was on her way again. She is starting to prove to be a clumsey little gal.
While we were out having fun and partying Marc was out hunting. Unfortuatly he did not get his moose this year. He saw a lot but they were never anywhere where he could shoot them. They were either out of the rifle range or across the road and by they time he crossed to get a shot they were gone. He did however take this picture while he was out.
