Family Love

It's not very often that you arrive at the airport and not only do you get to see family, you get to see family that you haven't met before! You would never have known it though. We arrived on Thursday in Seattle and Jacob and Kaitlyn met Samuel and Benjamin, as did Kelly and I. It was wonderful. The kids became fast friends and are having a wonderful time with their cousins as we speak. Many thanks to Aunt Shanna for taking our kids on and loving them and showing them a wonderful time!

Waterfall

We went for a little drive last night and I took a picture of this waterfall from my phone. Thought I would share.

It's What's For Dinner

One cool thing about living on an island is the abundance of seafood. Kelly went to work today and came home with crab. Yum! We boiled it up and ate it for dinner. Kaitlyn isn't a huge fan, but Jake can't ever get enough. The only thing that would have made it better is friends to share it with!

Bear Sighting!

As I was standing on my front porch talking to Kelly on the phone, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A baby bear!! Checking and making sure mama bear wasn't near by, I snapped a couple of quick pictures. Apparently he was looking for a snack!

Summertime

It isn't summer yet, but let me tell you. You wouldn't know it in Ketchikan. We've hit 85 degrees three days in a row, and we're lucky to get that in August around here. Now the way the weather works here in Ketchikan, it will most definitely be raining by next week, which is ok. It's what keeps everything so green and beautiful. But we're trying to absorb all of the sunshine and warmth we can. We went for a drive tonight and I snapped a few pictures. The pictures really don't do the sunset justice. It was so gorgeous! Jake and Kaitlyn are pretty gorgeous too!!
