November.. and start of December

It's now nearly Christmas, and time to post Thanksgiving photos! It's been a month of peace and daily skiing together, time with family and friends, sun, incredible snow, and a big moon. And, a month of milestones; I've submitted my thesis, paperwork for Peter's passport is in.
Adrian, Dan, and Gavin visited Anchorage for the Alaska Bird Conference. Gavin has the most wonderful smile; we're soo excited to watch the boys grow up together!

We had fun trying to get the boys to try to smile at the same time...

We had a short window of snow-free ice skating at Potters Marsh

Karli skating with Peter



Peter LOVES Robyn and Karli, and they are wonderful with him


I've just submitted my thesis, and the defence is scheduled 3 February.
Peter's offered to do it for me....

Big thanks to Dustin for doing the night and early morning Peter feeds for the last stretch.

The Mullers have given us a wonderful old Norwegian pulk. Peter loves it, and sleeps soundly while I ski. We now have a great daily routine of an afternoon nap and ski together. The snow has been soo wonderful, we can ski to the trail from the back door

Lee and Kathy met us up at Glen Alps for a great outing


Lee with Peter, waking up after the ski.
Snow Pea


Bev, Joel, and the girls hosted another wonderful Thanksgiving. Wonderful friends, time for thanks, a great meal, and a truly magical walk (between dinner courses) in the fresh falling snow.


We've had the most amazing stretch of sun and good snow.
It's been cold, but magically beautiful.
Peter is doing great with the cold, and still prefers to be outside than in.

Winter crafts, and quiet time. Margaret came round for an evening of stamping


And, now it's nearly Christmas.
Here is Dustin and Peter setting up the nativity set together last night.

Fall and early Winter

 Our landing home after fish-camp was full, and we all had travel plans.  A little too much travel, but each was rich and important.  Peter ...
