My cute little chick - deviled egg.
Preparing to take all these berries to Kodiak with us.
6 jars of whole cranberry sauce and 3 jars of raspberry jam!
Cutie Patootie!!! Bo said she looks homely in this picture, but I think it's so cute.
Moose steaks and boudin branded with a cute little bear (from Betsey). It may be 10 below, but it is spring and that means time to cook on the grill.

My full time student teaching binder is complete!!!! Hours and hours and hours of work to include all my lesson plans, reflections, students samples and projects from the last month.This is the most recent hurdle in the path of becoming a certified teacher. It will be sent to Fairbanks on Monday! I'm not finished with school yet but I am SO close - May 1st!!!
And this is why I do it!!

Sometimes technology is GREAT! Here I am in the middle of Alaska watching a sow and two tiny cubs in Bolivar county, Mississippi via a live web cam. This is making all my boring school work a little easier.

Let's just say - we are having shedding issues!! I guess to Abby 30 degrees above signals her body to shed. HA! This is her buddy Achilles. He has been hanging out with us for a couple of weeks.
