Alaska Update

We have been in Anchorage for a little over a week. We have been looking for houses and are currently waiting to hear from one we put an offer on. (the third house we have offered on.) We are renting a furnished 2 bedroom appartment downtown. It is cozy and fine, but we are anxious to get into a home. We have nice views of the mountains and were able to see some dogsled racers from the kids's bedroom window last weekend. Aubrey likes the snow, but thinks it is too cold here. She has already had several play dates and loves her friends here. It hasn't been the easiest transition for the kids. Malakai arrived in AK with double ear infections and Aubrey seems to have caught a new cold just as her last one was almost gone. Neither kid is sleeping very well, so far--consequently, neither am I. It will be nice to get settled somewhere in our own beds again. I'll try and keep you posted. . . We are excited for the Iditerod start this weekend. Brian likes his job, and the challenge of doing something a little different. It has been fun catching up with old friends.
