2485 Maria St.

I wanted to post a picture of the cabin we have been renting before we leave. It has been a good little place for us. Kim has been amazing, living and caring for two children in a small cabin with no running water. I have much to be thankful for in her.

I am looking forward to her enjoying the luxuries of running water and a comfortable home due to no action of my own. My parents are in the process of buying a house in Soldotna with the intent of renting to us. We are grateful to them.

Easter shovel

Among other things, we gave Mir a shovel in her Easter Basket. When we brought her out to look for eggs that afternoon she took no interest in them. She was much more excited about her new shovel. She did enjoy finding eggs after a while, but until she had broken in that shovel.

Hot Licks

I apologize again for not posting for some time. We have been busy. Two days ago we began packing for our move back down to Soldotna. We are all more than a little excited to be moving back to the Kenai to be with our family and friends.

We took a break yesterday afternoon to get ice cream at Hot Licks before leaving Fairbanks. Mir loved it.

100%

Again I have not written for some time and even now these pictures that I am posting are a week old.

Ethan is maturing daily. He continues to be a social guy. Today as we walked out of the sanctuary of Bethel Church, he squealed, smiled, and kicked as we made our way through the exiting crowd. He was just loving the commotion and seeing so many faces.

Excepting nighttime diapers, Mir has had a 100% success rate of using the potty now, even when we are away from home. She wears diapers only during naps and at night. One of her favorite things to do now is to help Kim bake cookies. She has been playing outside more as it has warmed.

We are excited about moving back to the Kenai at the end of the month so that we will be with our family, our church family, and friends again.
