Baby Registry

Greetings to all! We've been asked by a few people what we need for the new baby. Fortunately we were blessed to receive so many wonderful gifts for Eva and having another girl helps too. But there are a few things we will need so we have made a registry at ToysRUs/BabiesRUs in Anchorage. You can look us up online. I believe they have the option to allow us to pick up items at the store when we go to town so you don't have to pay shipping. We appreciate all of you who have been so supportive of us while we are in Kotzebue.

Love,
The Meyers

Sledding and Whiteout

Kotzebue weather is strange indeed! Earlier this week we had a heatwave. Okay, so it was like 25 degrees, but coming from -60 it seemed like a heatwave to us. So we took Eva and Jeffrey sledding on the pile of snow across the street that was plowed out of our driveway. It was the perfect height for the little ones. They had so much fun! Just look at those faces

Today we had whiteout conditions: 60mph winds and -30 temps. Aaron wasn't even able to drive home from work (which is about 1 mile from our house). I tried to go pick him up on the RZR but I only got to the end of the driveway and then I saw nothing. Nothing but white. I couldn't even see our house anymore. Then some guys appeared out of nowhere and told me not to even try going any farther. So I turned around and went back. I even had to wear goggles to bring Zoe in from her house which is about 10 feet from our front door. I felt like I was in that movie The Mist except there were no alien bugs attacking me. You could hear the voices of people walking around you but you couldn't see where they were coming from. Austin captured a small video on his camera phone.

I realize that there are some of you reading my blog who may not know about our big news.... sorry if we couldn't tell you in person. Everything looked good on our first ultrasound and baby #2 is due June 24. More to come....

Fourth of July Week in Kotzebue

We have been doing lots of fun things outside now that summer has finally come around above the Arctic Circle. We have been enjoying warmer weather (temps in the 70's!) but not the mosquitos.

Those aren't jetskis! They are actually snowmachines.
