Reviving the blog...

So Facebook has taken up all of my computer time, and I've decided that I miss the blog as it's allowed me to keep a diary of the kids and our family life. Not only do I miss the blog, but I sure miss being on the road. (I should've been a rock star. ) So anyway, I'm attempting to do updates once again:

We have been in Anchorage since mid February and are trying to get into a groove since the Big Trip. Wayne is working at the Alaska Native Medical Hospital in Oncology (with Millie Henning from Nome). It is great for him to be working full-time, especially after being Mr. Mom for so long. I am now home with the boys which is a big role reversal for us and I am working on opening up my dental practice which is exciting and scary all at once.

Tyler and Joe have probably become more spoiled, now that I am Mrs. Mom, but it has been super and educational (especially for me). Boy, do I now truly appreciate everything Wayne has done since they were born.

We are considering homeschooling the kids, so now Tyler is learning how to read. Teaching him how is probably one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life.

Both boys (and maybe even me) are obsessed with hockey and we are now huge Alaska Aces (hockey) fans. This is fortunately cheaper than being Chicago Blackhawk fans. The ice is all gone now, so no more hockey until next year.

And of course fishing has begun. We are living in a condo on a lake, so the kids have caught their first rainbows of the season right in our backyard. And we are prepared for Anchorage combat fishing, which I'm sure will make me surely miss Nome. The weather in Anchorage has been amazing this week, and basically amazing ever since February.

So I'm wondering if you're still in the market for a dental practice? Mike M. told us you were near purchase once or twice. Otherwise, I'm sure you have your hands full.

looking forward to pictures of fish caught and other Anchorage adventures. Chase was just reading Dear Deer (which I think I sent to Tyler and Joe) this AM to me before school... so fun to hear them read!
