We have 15 hours and 39 minutes of visible light today. By the end of the week we’ll have 16 hours! It’s pretty incredible to be here during the light gain. It’s so much easier to be awake… and so much tougher to make yourself go to bed.
I’ve been working away the days… trying to catch up after last week’s vacation. It’s been good if not a little hectic. I’ll be heading into Anchorage Tuesday night since Bill’s got to go in for the job fair. I plan to do a little shopping at Costco or Sam’s Club and mail stuff back here – trying to get ready for next year. Then I’ll fly over to Valdez and hang out there for a few days.
Stacie and I headed out on a walk today. It was COLD! Still, good to get outside. It’s very sunny – deceivingly so!
Grandma called tonight, just to check in. I think she just wanted to brag about the good weather they’ve been having! 🙂 They haven’t seen the newest little Aune yet. Sounds like Ethan’s parents both have colds. I’m sure they’re all a bit run down from all the excitement and company. Hopefully things are starting to settle down for them.
I talked to Amy (Stepec) tonight. I didn’t realize what Dance Dance Revolution was, so she explained it to me. I then spent the next 30 minutes looking for a version that would be compatible with a Mac. (It’s designed for playstation 2.) Anyway, I also learned that Amy was a big climbing buff in her college years – and a snowboard champion! 🙂 She, too, enjoys the floor hockey – so when we all move back to MN we’re going to start with that and possibly move into the elite game of broomball.
I heard from Lo that Dad was sick today. Apparently there’s a flu bug in the area. Hope to hear he’s well tomorrow.
I got some new stamping stuff in, so I had to try to create a card tonight. I realized that I need a ton of more stuff to make decent looking cards. Tonights was alright. Just wait, maybe you will be the lucky recipient! 🙂
I finally got a look at Andrea and Jeff’s new little baby. I’ve been waiting since Monday, when she was supposed to be induced. Looks like a beautiful little boy… Alex Brennan! Cute name. I hope Andrea’s well – he arrived as a 10 lb. 4 oz. little guy! Congratulations guys!
Well, that’s enough from me!
