Brandy and Little Man Jayden

-


Jayden is the sweet little boy that was in the crib next to Jacy in the NICU. He has seizures, and they still aren't sure what is causing them. I am so thankful that Jacy was assigned to the bed next to him so that we could get to know him and his mom, Brandy. We quickly became good friends and were able to support and encourage each other. Jacy and Jayden were inseparable...really! We made sure that if Jayden was ever moved to a different bed, Jacy was to be moved to the bed next to him, and vice versa. We made a great team! Since going home Jayden has been fitted with a helmet to correct the shape of his head. He wears the helmet 23 hours a day. Isn't he so cute in it!!!
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO JAYDEN. Sorry that we are missing your party tomorrow buddy!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
