We have been living up an absolutely incredible fall in Alaska. It was almost 60 today and the kids and I were running around in tee-shirts. To get everyone up to speed quickly and so I don't feel guilty about moving on here is the bullet list of the last month and a half.
- Josette celebrated her 2 birthday. The BEST news.....she's perfect!! No x-rays for another year. She'll have to have a Ph Study to evaluate her acid reflux which involves an overnight hospital stay but we get to pick when, a big bonus. We also celebrated being surgery free for 1 year! She is truly a miracle baby and such an important part of our family.
- I went on a backpacking over nighter with the amazing Nicole. We hiked back to 5 miles over tundra and boulder field to sleep on the hillside between two incredibly beautifully lakes. We opened the tent door to eat blueberries and at blue water that you only see in pictures of the Caribbean.
- Pulled the kids out of school for a last ditch fishing trip to Sheep Creek. Benjamin's tenacity paid off as the only one to catch one.
- The Alaska State Fair, always a great time with record breaking vegetables!
- Pulled the kids out of school again to do the Denali Road Trip. A bit of bummer that we couldn't see the mountain due to lots of cloud cover. On the plus side my mom, meme, joined us for a truly unique Alaska adventure. We also got to drive to the end of the road, Teklanika, which can be rare at the end of September. It is usually closed due to snow. We also saw 6 bears, 3 bull moose with fabulous antlers, female moose, caribou, dall sheep, and a couple of foxes.
- Attended Lion King.....so AWESOME!!!! Carsten sat still for over 2 hours totally enthralled, no more needs to be said.
- All 6 of us survived the flu at the same time.
