We had our first guest recently when Brandon's mom Anna flew out from Maine. She even survived the frostbite and bear attacks to tell about it. Everyone is doing well. Stephanie and I just celebrated 11 years of togetherness and 6 years of marriage, and she isn't sick of me yet (I think). We also discovered a Belgian beer bar here, with about 100 varieties - just more more reason to make your summer travel plans now.
The four of us took a drive to Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula, and saw two bald eagles on the way (once when Malcolm had to make a roadside pit stop and accidentally peed on daddy's shoe). It was a gorgeous trip. We took a hike at the National Wildlife Refuge center to walk off our oversized lunch.
Do yourself a favor and go see Wallace & Gromit.
Chloe is great (albeit impossibly loud) and Malcolm is turning the big 4 soon (complete with yet another Thomas-inspired birthday party). She's going to be a unicorn/Pegasus for Halloween, and Malcolm is dressing up as a knight. We're going as sleep-deprived parents. The weather is sunny or partly so, with highs in the 30s and 40s. We get plenty of frost in the mornings, but no snow yet. We did buy our first sled, just to be prepared. And the Scout has been parked and tarped on the side of the house for the winter, to be rejuvinated when breaking down doesn't mean freezing to death.
We hope everyone down there is happy, healthy and safe. Take care of yourselves. We miss you all.
