First Day on the Job

The herring have arrived and it's almost time to fish.
Frank and I went on a little flying cruise to get
organized and ready for the first opening.
This years quota is 14,504 tons.

In the video - below
There is a big pod/school/group of sea lions next to these rocks.
Look for the birds flying around. There were about 300 floating
around this area but it looks like the group has split into
3 smaller groups. This one could be 100? -I'm guessing
The streak of discolored water trailing off them is...

Twinkle Twinkle Duet Debut

This is Kobi and his violin teacher playing
their first duet. Kobi is playing the harmony,
Barbara is playing the theme.

She is a wonderful woman. We feel pretty
lucky to have her attention once a week.

Walrus, Walrus, What Do You See?

Anan was spending some time on the potty reading.

Violin Practice

Kobi is learning a new song in violin.
We made it past Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

I am amazed with Kobi's concentration with
Anan in the background.

Anan's new favorite book.
From Uncle Kevin and Aunt Bethy.
Christmas 2008

Kevin and Beth came to visit for a couple of days.
They flew up on Wednesday with a dreaded 9 hour
layover in Juneau. This would have got them here at 11pm.
Pete looked into our local small plane company who informed
him they just happened to have a plane in Juneau. Within an
hour they were on a flight with just the pilot and them to Sitka.
The skies were clear wintery blue and the mountains capped with snow.
They arrived at 3pm and shaved 8 hours off the layover.

We ate some good food, went on walks, read at the library
stared at the kids, chopped wood -and toe-, faced our addiction
to sugar and then said good bye. As always, the time is not long enough.
