gratitude

your support is overwhelming! thank ya'll so much for your well wishes and prayers. we are at 6 weeks. and life is busy and we are doing well. I really have to say, (and i'm not just trying to prove my spirituality here) that your prayers are bouying us up and we are so grateful.

here's what life has given us lately.

this time of year is a little rough in these parts. it's cold and dark. we don't see actual rays of sunlight until about 10:30 and sunset is at 4:00. which is actually an improvement on the 3:30 time a month ago. even so, what a beautiful "evening." (took this picture at about 2:30 p.m.) alaskan's go outside for relief from cabin fever, even when it's 19 degrees out. (which for us is actually quite warm.)

our nieghbor and avery and austin's mutual good buddy, giving jace a love. we went out side to explore a snow fort the boys have been working on. avery and jace and travis loved it.

the snow tunnel and my girl.
the little guy has discovered tv. (i blame uncle g, he has a spongebob habit.) it inevitably happens to all my kids, still one more milestone for the baby that makes me sad to see. but the fact that no one has ever looked so cute "watchin' a show" makes it a little easier to swallow.
