We have had a fun spring break in spite of the lack of spring weather. Monday we had dinner with friends. Suzie and Bruce have 3 married kids in Eagle River and invited us to join them all for dinner with their kids and grandkids. It was great to have a bunch of kids running around with light sabers and we had a great Family Home Evening lesson with them.
Yesterday we went ice skating and sledding with Suzie's daughter in law, Julie, and her 3 kids. She has 2 boys and girl that match up with my kids exactly. They each had a friend and played sharks and minnows down the sledding hill. It involved a lot of tackling each other and was a ton of fun. Later we sent Carter and his new friend to their house while Ethan and his new friend cam to our house. They laughed themselves silly and had a great time.
Last night we had our friends the Mowers over. They have 4 kids Ethan's age and younger. They just got back from Hawaii and we had to hear all about their trip. We played a rousing game of Snorta (click the link for the last time I mentioned Snorta on the ole blog...its way at the end) with everybody and it was down to Catherine and her husband Matt. We laughed as the spousal competition really came forth as they quacked and oinked their way to the bitter end!
And today JaDee flew out to Katltag. He is most excited. He will only be able to e-mail me until Monday. Hopefully all will go well. He took the camera and we will have them up as soon as he gets back, maybe he will even be a guest poster on the ole blog!
I am off with the kids to the Imaginarium tomorrow. It is a science museum here in Anchorage with hands on stuff for the kids. We have unpacked about 8 big boxes of toys and found homes for most of them. My floor is mopped for the week and we are relatively on top of the laundry!
Life is good.

wow! I think this is the most calm and relaxed you've sounded since the big move..and you're even in the middle of "spring" break with your kids! I am impressed!
What a fun Spring Break! Either there is a lot to do in Alaska or you are just really creative. I'll go with the latter.
Doesn't it just feel good to know you mopped the floor - just before the kids drop ketchup on it?
Yes. Life is Good!
Ok, Nicole, I am mortified. I didn't even know you had moved. I'm so embarrassed! In fact, yesterday I was driving by the church where we visited you for a baby blessing and I was wondering what you were up to!
Wow.
I even popped in on your blog the other night for a few minutes and just figured JaDee got lucky and was able to make a special trip to Alaska to see the Iditerod. (sp?)
Anyhoo, I'm glad you stopped by my blog and thanks so much for posting the link to the poem found in Grandpa's papers.
What other gems were found? Do we have copies of the papers and stuff anywhere? I'd love to read them.
Have a good one!!
