Ice Skating on the Pond!

Stephen and I enjoyed going ice skating with some of our friends today. A nice fire was made in the middle of the pond and we all skated around. It was so windy today, but the trees around us kept it out and we all enjoyed the fellowship.

Roscoe even enjoyed skating a bit. He is such a tough Alaska dog!!

Our Next Medical Bill

Every Tuesday evening after our days at work we head out to our CBC Youth Group. We have a very wide variety of kids all with unique personalities but somehow each night we have a new blessing! There are a bunch of guys that always have to jump on Stephen. One of these days I'm sure they're going to cause us to have a pretty big medical bill. But for now Stephen can easily take them all on and win!

Oh, Jill do you like the hat? For some reason these kids love to wear every hat Stephen and I bring.

The Sun Came Out!!

The Lord knows exactly what we need when we need it!

Stephen and I had been feeling extremely cooped up in our little home. Yes we are busy busy, but throughout the winter months we miss our summer adventures. We had hoped Saturday would be a great day to kayak over to a near island, however the weather switched from sun to wind and rain with a channel full of white caps. So then came Sunday!

We where able to take a short hike up on the cliffs. It was extremely beautiful and even though the wind was cold, it felt great!

The first picture shows part of Spruce Island and if you look down on the left lower side you can see an old WWII look out.

Praise God for all is blessings big and small!

Boat Viewing

This weekend Stephen and I decided to take a little adventure and we came across this beached boat. Some people find it a lot less expensive to dock on a beach. In a few hours it'll be back under water. But WOW was it big!!! The prop on this boat was huge and Stephen decided to go check it out.

Snow Shoeing

January was one of the snowiest and coldest Kodiak has seen in quite a while. Stephen, Roscoe and I enjoyed some fun out in the snow with the snow shoes Stephen got for us. But I think we need to get a pair for poor Roscoe too.

This is out at Monashka at the end of the road. What a beautiful day!
