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.
