No photos or cards to post today. (sad face), but the news is that Mom will be here late, late Saturday night!! We are so excited about her coming!! We are still kind of cold, but the days are warming up to almost 25-30 degrees! So...things are starting to melt here and there.
I took some photos I need to upload of Chester and Cochise. Pretty cute critters playing together. When Jake told me that they would become best friends I was totally skeptical about it, but he was right. They play until they are both tuckered!
Life goes on in the frozen north!!

Jake is home! He got here Sunday afternoon and we are so happy to have our family all back together!!
Chester is doing fine. He had 5 teeth removed, which was kind of a surprise. Two of them are right in the front! Clay calls him "Afred E. Newman" after the Mad magazine character.
Mom will be here in less than 2 weeks!!
We are still in fairly cold temps, currently it's -20 and the forecast has snow for tomorrow and Thursday! What a March!!
That's about it for the quick update!!

Where have I been??? Well, I can't say for sure...I guess just doing other things. Here's a couple of cards I finally did.
So at least I've been busy.
The latest news is...Jake is moving back! Yes, he's decided that he really loves working on bikes. We are really happy.
The other news is...Lauren got a new job at a bank! She's finally working at a position that she hopes to hang to for a while. Both kids will be living at home and Mom arrives from Nevada at the end of the month. We'll have a full house again for a while.
Bad news...Chester has to go in for a teeth cleaning on Friday.C
. Poor little guy.
Clay is doing well. He had to skip trapping this year because his snow machine trailer took a dump. He leaves for Kodiak mid-April for the spring bear hunt. We have been experimenting with healthy foods and cooking a lot more. This will hopefully help keep his liver in good condition.
For me...well, it's mostly church, work and stamping with a little guitar playing and reading thrown in here and there. We are still having pretty cold temps so I'm not able to really get out yet. Hopefully when Mom gets here we can walk and do some fun things.
That's all the latest! Oh, I got a new truck. It's a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. Maybe I'll put up a different photo later since this one is a little cut off, but you get the idea!!
