Mommy's first time away

-
I had my first night (4 actually) away from Jacy.. EVER!!! I had the opportunity to attend a conference for work in ORLANDO, FLORIDA with my friend and co-worker Mary Warner. I missed my little princess a lot, but had a great time too! Granda Zeke (Papa Eke, as Jacy now refers to him) came to stay with Jacy during the day while Jay had to go to work. Between her Daddy and Grandpa I knew that Jacy was in good hands! Her and Grandpa had a blast together! I would talk to Jacy every night on the phone. Her side of the conversation was usually something like, "HI MOMMY! I'm funny! K-BYE!" and she would pass the phone back to Daddy. I got the feeling that she was having to much fun with the boys to be talking on the phone or missing her mommy! The first night of our trip Mary and I stayed the night with her Aunt and Uncle, just outside of Orlando. He took us for a ride in his '32 3-window coupe! It is BEAUTIFUL! We never got the chance to go to the Magic Kindom but we did visit Downtown Disney for a little shopping and our conference group had dinner inside of Epcot center. We got out of dinner just in time to see their amazing firework show over the water!!! Jacy came with daddy to pick us up at the airport. She was very excited to see me and hugged me all the way home! What more could a mommy ask for!

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!!!
