You might get me to admit

That Alaska is quite pretty.

too cold for me, but very pretty.

J says the earthquake woke him up, but they are fine and dandy and enjoying the increasing sunshine.  Pictures are of an outing to Hatcher Pass.

Our winter has been kind of weird, with the occasional snow dump (so far only on weekends) (and only when we have guests visiting) with snow in-between.  When D was home for Christmas we got one weekend of loads of snow, which means loads of shoveling.  Noah loves to shovel and loves to go out and play in the snow.  Perhaps this is the result of being born in Utah?  

 Except, my California baby also loves to go out and play in the snow

And I (born in Utah) dislike the cold rather quite a lot.

We lost the good camera over winter break, ('lost', in that I couldn't find it because I put it away in the right place, but on the wrong shelf)  and didn't take many phone pictures.  I guess I'm too old-fashioned to remember the tech I keep always in my pocket!
