Kirsten and Claire with their great smiles.
Claire won the McNeil Canyon Elementary Spelling Bee and went to Anchorage to compete in the State Level. Although she did not win, we had a great time shopping and watching the sled dog races during the "Fur Rondy".
Hello from wintery Alaska! We have missed 2 days of school in the past week due to blizzards. The only other time we have missed school in 10 years was for ashfall from a volcano. We have so much snow right now that we couldn't even get a vehicle out of the driveway. We LOVE it! For those of you who have wondered how football ended up, we lost in the semi-finals, but we did set a record for Homer High School. Last Saturday we went on the Snomad fun run. Best snow in 10 years. I kept thinking that my nephew Robert should have been with us. It was VERY cold and snowy, sometimes I couldn't even see the machine in front of me, but still great fun. Our family all went together with "THE BROS" and a couple of other friends.
