Ice Races...

These past couple of months, we have been working at the ice races. They are on the frozen lake in town. Sami goes to the local Head Start program. We have been helping with a concession stand to raise money for Head Start. It has been lots of fun, the kids enjoy it, and we have raised alot of money for the program.

Winter Carnival

Last week, we had a winter carnival here in Homer. Sami's school - Homer Head Start - was involved in the parade. Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment.

Blizzard???

We woke up Saturday morning to a bunch of snow. Surprised? We do live in Alaska. Our son, went outside to shovel the porch - without even having to be told. Miracles do happen!

Basketball Pics

Candyland....

For Amanda's birthday - Lyla (at YWAM) made her birthday cake. It looked just like the Candyland boardgame. Check out the pics.

Toothless wonder!

Amanda lost her first tooth a couple of weeks ago. She was so proud! She was the only one at her school who had not lost a tooth - now, she fits right in. Since this picture, she has lost the other tooth on the bottom. She is diligent about messing with loose teeth until they fall out. She is like the Energizer bunny, she keeps wiggling and wiggling and wiggling.

It's been a while....

It has been a while since we last posted. We have been busy. Our First Nations DTS (Discipleship Training School) started on Jan 7. Kevin taught the second week of class on a culture of honor. He will be preaching in our church in two weeks. I will be teaching on forgiveness and God's love this week. I also spend lots of time running children here and there.

Sami has been going to preschool at the Head Start program. She is really enjoying it. We have spent several Sunday afternoons at the frozen lake working at the ice races. We have a little concession stand to help raise funds for the head start program. It has been fun, buy really cold!

Amanda turned 7 on Jan 8. She is loving the 1st grade. She is taking swimming lessons for the next two weeks and is taking piano lessons once a week.

Josh is participating in basketball at the high school. He has practice everyday. He is also taking drum lessons once a week.

Whew! Busy, busy, busy!
