Timmy got a little car as an early birthday present. He fell in love with the neighbor's toy car and spent every afternoon in their yard loving on it, so we bought him one early to enjoy while the summer lasted before moving it inside. Here he's enjoying driving it, but you can see why dad got him a haircut shortly after arriving home!
We REALLY love this car. No, really.
Wait...standby for potty break.
We took a trip to Anchorage on Wednesday and supported the economy in a truly patriotic way while enjoying some much needed catch up time. Charlie lost nearly 40 lbs in Iraq and looks amazing...here's two handsome boys in downtown Anchorage.
We took a side trip to Seward and embarked on a Resurrection Bay and Gulf of Alaska cruise with the kids. Wow.
I can see why Alaska is addictive now. We had some icky weather but still...such beautiful vistas, deep blue-green waters, adorable puffins, and distant glimpses of austere blue glaciers peeking through the fjords. Poor Connor ended up with a little seasickness but happily slept on dad's lap for a couple hours, while Timmy snoozed in mommy's sling.
Here's the family gathered on the deck of the boat...
Here's a view of Bear Glacier...you don't see many on this particular cruise because it's short and focuses mostly on wildlife, but it was perfect for us because the boys' tolerance for sea motion and boredom are less than the marathon boat expeditions required to see more.
Oh, my favorite! Puffins! These guys are so cute and little -- you picture them as penguin sized, but they're actually tiny...

Here's a view of the Matanuska Glacier. We drove an alternate route home to enjoy the scenic Richardson Highway. Timmy mightily disagreed with this decision about an hour from home, and punished us, but the views made it worth it!
This is just one of a thousand views on Richardson!
