Now that I'm a mom, I probably get more exercise than I did when I was going to the gym religiously. Eva weighs in a little over 20 pounds at her six month checkup which is a substantial sack of potatoes to carry around all day. She is recently more active, sitting up by herself and scooting around the floor on her belly. Everything within reach goes directly in the mouth! Gone are the days when she could be left unattended in a chair or on the floor.

Trooper HousingEva and I go walking most days. Not for exercise but just to get out of the house. We take the usual loop from trooper housing to the post office, around the airport, trooper post, hospital, grocery store and back home. That is about one mile. The time it takes to bundle up is usually longer than the walk lasts. There are some great things to see though.
The ocean DOES freeze over here. The ice is almost to Kotzebue, about a mile out now, and the seals are very close to shore. We saw at least 100 within 20 yards from the Bayside restaurant this week. We've heard that hasn't happened in years.

Shore Drive in Kotz. The white house on the right is the grocery market and further down the beach you can see where the barges bring everything in that isn't flown.

Thank you for allowing me to view your blog. It is a wonderful way to see how things are moving along. Many of us may never get a chance to get up there, but with your information it gives us an insight of what it is like. You have such a great prospective on things an a wonderful outlook. I think that will be part of the success of living out there. I hope someday you will look back at this experience as a wonderful adventure. Be safe and happy,
