Revisiting

I've been rather nostalgic lately. So for that I am grateful I have this blog! I've been reading about our move here and what a monumental task that was for our little family. How much Carter helped me that day in the airport while JaDee and I had to be in two different lines (one for livestock aka Champ and 2 cats; and one for ammunition and firearms... I got to handle the ammunition) [Dec 2008]. I read about Olivia's 4th birthday [Nov 2009]; the Christmas of 2009 and Ethan's many faces; and all the Iditarod fun [Mach of 2009, 2010 & 2011].

We have always been a family of adventure, craziness, and well, adventure. Life had been good. It's been fun. Always fun. I've been remembering all the fun.

It's good to see how different everyone looks back then. And if I remembered to sit down with my camera at the computer I could show you a recent picture. The Olivia of yesterday was so round faced and chubby. Ethan IS now round faced and chubby as he gets ready to sprout past me and Carter any day now. Carter looks like a grown up and is an even more handsome version of himself 3 years ago.

I'll get pictures up soon. Promise.

Oh those little munchkins of mine, I want to eat them I love them do much.

If you have been following me on Facebook you would know I am getting my teaching certification together for up here. I had to take the first round of Praxis tests to prove my basic competence (which I am BTW). And I am sending in a whole packet to the Alaska Ed Department here this week. I'm not sure what I'm doing with all this certification yet, but I want to put the feelers out, and be ready if something comes up.

So I was looking back and remembering all those tough and crazy times. Because I'm sure teaching will be a piece of cake after being a stay at home mom for 15 years!
