Under New Management

-
As of Friday February 27th I have two new boss's...Jacy and Jake! We held our first "executive" meeting this week...at the ZOO!


Our family has taken a direct hit from the struggling economy and we are considering it a true blessing in disguise! Labor force reductions at SRP resulted in my entire department being dissolved. We have decided that it is more beneficial for our family for me to be home with our kids, so after 10 years with SRP I have accepted a severance package and I am now a STAY AT HOME MOM! It is kind of scary going to a one-income family but we KNOW that it was the best decision for our family. I am really looking forward to being with my kids more and watching them grow! The kids had their last day at New Horizons Pre-School and Daycare on Friday. Their teachers and friends were very sad to see them go. We are so grateful for the time they spent with the kids and all of the wonderful things that they taught them. Ms. Susan, Ms. Erin, and Ms. Ladonna...you will be missed!


To help welcome this new change we enjoyed a wonderful day at the zoo this week with my brother Jonathan and his family. Jacy and Jake LOVED being with their cousins JT, Avery, and Evanna! Thanks for a great day!

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!!!
