Spring

This weekend:

• we are working on installing cabinets, range stove etc. in the apartment so we can rent it out relatively soon
• saw our first mosquitoes!!!!!!!
  
• brushed off the BBQ and grilled up some corn on the cob and salmon

It's a beautiful, sunny gorgeous weekend in Seward. Summer is on the way...

Photo Shoot

While we were up North during the beginning of April, we met up with our wedding photographers for a photoshoot between Fairbank and Delta Junction. Heath and Audrey made it really fun!

DJ visit

while up North, we visited the Masons on the farm in Delta.
Ellie and I spent a nice afternoon catching up, and talking about weddings and babies.
Dave and Jeff went out on Jeff's trapline to get into trouble.

happy family

Dave looks pretty good with one of those!

Wyatt can roll now. He was trying to crawl towards me but his arms got in the way.
Emma tried to help but mostly played 'lick the baby'.

Wyatt was all smiles this visit.
Mom was all smiles, too!
Little boy slept 6 hours for the 2nd night in a row!

it's the happy pig from the Lemongrass!

someone looks a little sleepy!!

oooh! look what happened Dave!
a BABY just magically appeared in bed!!
can we keep it?

Lincoln's defense

Lincoln defended his M.S. thesis last week.
Mike, too! But we missed his defense by 2 days.

John Citta, Lincoln & Mike

Ellie hasn't been able to attend some of the post-defense parties lately, but we've managed to continue the spanking machine for you.

Lincoln had a LONG line of people to go through.

still smiling!
Brad, Lincoln & Julie
PS - Julie does have an incredible pack-to-weight ratio.
I wonder if she'd be willing to be my substitute :)

Bodega Bay, CA

Dave and I went to CA to visit his family and we went to Bodega Bay for a weekend holiday.
