Happenings are happening

We've been getting settled and getting out. We made it out to the Spenard Roadhouse for a spot of dinnner on Thursday. 

Jes was pleased with the choices on the menu. 

We went down to Girdwood to celebrate Jes's birthday with some friends. We stopped just off the highway for a bit of sightseeing. 

It was a bit windy but...

...still pretty great.

We did a bit of work around the house...

the nursery before...

...and after. 

Got a bit more work to do like painting the doors and trim, we'll post more as the work moves along. Speaking of work...

...it's going well. 

And here are a few pictures of the table I designed for our move. A few notes, the colored glass on the top is arranged in the positions of the Big Dipper and Polaris which is on the Alaskan state flag. The table surface is made of cottonwood which is found all over Colorado. The idea was to have a table that signified both of our homes. 

More to come, cheers!

Happy (belated) New Years!!!

We rang in the New Year in our new house. I had to sort out the self-timer on the camera...

 not quite...

Got it, cheers!

We made it!

We left Denver with our hands full...

... and managed to make it to Anchorage without incident. Our feline friends were very well behaved and the flights were easy. Basically, things went as well as possible, a fact that we are still grateful for. 

We got picked up at the airport by Alli and Wes (thank you!) and we were at our new place in, oh, about 5 minutes (small city living baby!). One of our cars was waiting for us courtesy of Kyle (thank you!) and after some unloading and settling, we were off to dinner at Jenna's (thank you!). 

A flurry of activity took up the next few days (acquiring household goods, going back to work, getting everything moved back in) but now we are feeling a bit more settled. Here are a couple pictures of the house in all it's mid-move in glory. 

It's 5 o'clock and dark!

It's dark on this side of the house too.

Living room and dining room with a bit of kitchen.

Kitchen and the glowing orbs.

Our bedroom.

What will be the nursery. Note the funky 'shelf', kind of cool.

And the fun room, we are pretty excited about this room.

More pictures soon, cheers. 

A bit more preggers

Jes and our little koala are progressing nicely.

Stan is kind of concerned but we assured him, he'll get just as much as attention as he wants. 

Cheers, 

Here we go!

Well after not posting for more than a year, this blog is coming back to life. Coincidentally, there's some new life in our family as well. We'll be charting the lil's koalas progress in picture form so here we go!

Arthur approves. 

Some more random images...

Cleaned the camera today and there were some gems on there...

Back in the early spring, the tree in front of our house blossomed for a solid week. 

Denver on my way to school.

I love these murals. They are just off the Cherry Creek trail under a bridge.

Yep, they're fantastic.

Cheers,

Some more random happenings...

Things have been hectic with school finishing up and work piling on but we've managed some fun stuff lately...

...spring has sprung and our crabapple tree in the front yard is blooming.

Ryan and Kathleen, friends from college, came through town and visited. We got out to Clear Creek for a solid day of climbing with some friends. 

And we got in some family time, heading over to Renia's for an Easter lunch, an egg hunt, and some relaxing in the sun.

Cheers,
