39 Weeks

Oh, by the way if you haven't heard, Amy is expecting...any moment now. We're in Fairbanks waiting it out at Grandpa & Grandma's house. Anxiously waiting to meet our new little girl.

Recent Autumn

Here are the last few pictures of Autumn as an only child.

She got her first real haircut yesterday. Now her hair is out of her face and she looks even more like a big girl.

Here she is "stuck in snow" at -20 degrees in Fairbanks.

Successfully sleeping every night in her "big girl bed" now.

Stylin' in the bead handband.

More pictures have been loaded to flickr. I don't know why they are rotated wrong. They are fine everywhere else. I guess you'll have to tilt your head.

T-Rex


What is it about kids and dinosaurs? It's like they are genetically hard-wired to have a dinosaur phase. Doesn't 22 months seem a little young though? Autumn is fascinated by them right now. Her favorite is Tyranasaurus Rex, or "t-ex" as she calls them. Maybe we have a budding paleantologist on our hands.

Christmas 2010

Here's the most recent family photo 12-24-10.

I think this photo needs to be submitted to Webster. They can put it right next to the definition for "beautiful."

More Christmas fun at Flickr.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree





Thanksgiving weekend we loaded up and headed for the hills in search of the perfect Christmas tree. Larry, Amy's step-dad spent part of the weekend with us so we had too much personnel to fit in the truck. So we took the Tercel, a Christmas tree haulin' machine if there ever was one. After much wandering around in the wet muskeg, we found just the right tree. Then after much lashing of ropes I realized I couldn't open the doors. Luckily everyone else was already inside. I slid in the window, Dukes of Hazard style. Upon our safe arrival at home (yep, those were some good knots), we all exited Dukes of Hazard style. A good red-neck start to the holiday season.

My New Hunting Partner





We didn't get a deer this time, but it wasn't for lack of enthusiasm.
