Lots of fun in May!!  Summer in Alaska is amazing!

April

So sorry our last couple posts haven't been up!  Blogger has been giving me errors when posting:/  So hoping it's worked out now :)

The best part about April in AK ... was Rylee turning ONE!

Such a fun, sweet girl ...

 

March in AK!

March in Alaska ... here are our latest adventures :)

a quick recap ...

something cool - I'm not sure we'll ever stop thinking that Moose in our backyard isn't "something cool!"  Even Rylee's eyes stare mesmerized ... we all stop whatever we were doing and just watch.  There's one "little" one that keeps coming back, last time really close.

  

 

 

 something new - Snow in Spring?!  This is something different than Texas and a new concept I'm getting used to.  In fact, Rylee and I just went for a nice walk yesterday ... through mud and muck of winter breaking up and snow actually melting some ... A lot of the sidewalk is clearing which is great, but we still are walking on snow and ice too.  Lots of people outside playing and exercising in the cold, but beautifully sunny day!  It's crazy to think that in Texas everything would have been shut down and nobody outside lol ... it's just "normal" here and we're joining in!:) 

something favorite - Rylee's Sarah doll.  She has been carrying her around most everywhere and its adorable!  Sarah is from an Amish Farm in Pennsylvania from our Aunt Jill:)  We love that she's from there because we love lots in Pennsylvania ... all our family up there!


something true -  We miss you!  Come visit us ... it's beautiful!! :) 

first month in AK!

I'm going to keep my monthly posts simple...just a "pinch of salt"zgaber:)  I can't think of anything catchier right now ... but going to start with: something cool, something new, something favorite, and something true.  Here's to our first month in Alaska!

February.  what.a.month.  moving is hard work!  I feel like we've moved to a new country, even though Ryan keeps insisting this is still America lol:)  It's still hard to believe the mountains and trees aren't a scene from a picture, but real and right in front of us.  This place is beautiful.  I'm especially looking forward to all the white turning to green this summer, we hear amazing things about Alaska summers! 

something cool about this month - it's actually not just cool here, but FREEZING;)  these 2 moose right outside our window were pretty cool!

something new - well, everything.  but I think we're most excited about our new house and meeting new friends and getting plugged in soon to a new church. 

such a cute and busy little helper:))

she thinks unpacking boxes is way more fun than mommy lol:)

 

something favorite -  the fur rondy festival and watching the dog sled races

something true - "You shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household!" Deuteronomy 26:11 

 

 



 

already here ...

Why is it that the time we want to go slow, goes fast and the time we want to go fast, goes slow?  The crazy thing is ... either way we've got 24hours in a day.  We've especially been soaking up those hours and moments; saying "see you later" to friends and enjoying lots of time with family...  I remember several months ago, Ryan ever so carefully shared he got orders and we'd be moving to ... ALASKA!  It's hard to believe the time is already here.  We know the best place to be, is where God has us.  Even in the unknown and hard, we know God's umbrella of protection covers our family.  Pray for us as we start this new journey!  The snow, mountains, moose ... more snow :)  I'll be blogging more, I promise!  My goal is to blog monthly updates, be on the lookout. xoxoxo
here's a little cutie to make you smile ...
