Kirsten and Claire with their great smiles.
The Bros love to snow machine together. Here they are getting ready for a big trip.
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.
Claire and a couple of her friends hung out waiting for he prizes to be awarded.
Karl, who was Captain of the hockey team finished up his season with Senior Night.

Hi Cuz (from 64 degree South Carolina!) :)
ReplyDeleteJust got the Christmas/New Year's card! ;) It's got a special place on the fridge: you are GORGEOUS and the fam ABSOLUTELY beautiful! God has soooo richly blessed all of you.
I miss all that snow....and the winter sports that accompany it. :( One does get acclimated, after some years, to the weather they live in, for when the temp. drops to freezing here (happens about 6 7 days out of the entire winter) we freeeeze!
The pics are great! The one of the "Bro's" on their snowmobiles looks like a watercolor!
And the pic of the girls...you're right, AMAZING smiles: could launch a thousand ships! :)
Coast Guard??? Mechanical Engineering???? You must be extraordinarily proud!
Looking forward to the next entry (in 6 more months! - Joking!)

Much love and many prayers!

Lenore, great update on your blog. Are the snows persisting...looks like a wonderful time. Maybe Uncle John and I will have to come up to do some snow stuff. But, for the moment, Antigua, Guatemala feels wonderful to us. Easter and Holy Week activities are gearing up here and the city is quickly filling up. We are expecting seven visitors from the states within the next ten days. It will be cozy. Love you guys, Uncle Bruce
