Winter's Getting Closer





It's about 20 degrees as I write this, at 11:30 on Saturday morning, with a bright sun over the Chugach mountains. A thick carpet of frost is on the lawn today, so we took the kids out in their snow suits for the first time. Malcolm loves the fact that he can roll around in the ice and not feel a thing. Chloe complained. But she looks so cute, like Maggie Simpson in her "star suit". So we let her complain for a bit. Call it tough love.

When we're not out freezing ourselves, we do tons of different projects inside, like art. Chloe enjoys drawing more than Malcolm does, but he's getting into painting now.

Tonight we're headed to
Trick or Treat Town for some early Halloween fun. Tomorrow it's sledding in the Chugach.

Check out the
awesome weather in store for us. Hopefully we'll start seeing the aurora soon, which I will definitely post pictures of. And in case anyone's wondering, the Iditarod doesn't start until March. But we will be there for the kick-off.

We hope everyone is doing well. Love always,

Chloe, Malcolm, Stephanie and Brandon
