little family announcement

photograph frenzy

Looks like we're going to be cancelling internet service, as our 30 day trial draws to a close. As a result, I've got to make hay while the sun shines. You're about to be bombarded with photographs. Most are centered around a certain daughter of ours named Zoralee Rena, but there is a commercial break or two for non-Zoralee photos. Okay, there's one break.

We'll be back amongst you intermittently!

Much love.

Much hugging and handshakes.

Many cheerios.

These are Z's riotous new suspenders, which help her britches to stay up.

For First Friday this month, we went to the museum (for free!!!) with a small entourage of friends. It was just GREAT. Then everybody came over for hot cider and a makeshift meal of pork roast that T&S brought in their crock pot, brussels sprouts on the stalk that N&A brought, and sweet potatoes.

I have mostly Z pictures of that night, because she looked so funny amongst all the museum artifacts and art.

just kidding. we have no idea how this happened one day mid-cooking

Here's the first snow in Anchorage, and the first snow Zoralee is old enough to...well,

not remember per se, but old enough to recognize that this stuff is cold and white.

- day after the first snow -

look how much trouble it is for Z to contain her mirth
