On Wednesday Kent wrapped up the craziness of school and we drove the four hours to Kettle Falls. Brooke was such a wonderful traveller this time, sleeping the entire way there and back at the end of the trip. We had time to reflect this weekend on what we are thankful for and family came out on top! Brooke is going to be so blessed with so many wonderful caring people in her life.
Bing, Britta, Uncle Bob, Brooke, Annie and Kent all ready to eat Thanksgiving dinner. The food was amazing (thanks to Britta)! Brooke enjoyed watching everyone eat and even stuck out her tongue at us a few times. Next year she'll be enjoying the meal along with us!

We got a chance to visit Kent's Uncle Pat and Aunt Polly in Chewelah (thanks again for having us!). We were also happy to get a chance to see Kent's cousin Kim from Hawaii and her two darling children. In the photo above, her daughter Olivia got a chance to hold Brooke. Being around lots of kids and family made me a bit homesick of my large family in Alaska. Although, since I've been in college all the "little" ones have entered high school and college, AUGH!
We had a great relaxing break from football games, concerts, phone calls, and email while we were in Kettle Falls. It's so great to have the time to lay on the floor and play with those you love!
Bing and his neighbor Bruce spent quite a few days in the last week logging his property. After the installation of solar panels on their roof and a windy summer, they realized the benefit of having a tree-free space around the house. Now from the guest bedroom and then porch there is a beautiful view of Lake Roosevelt. By the way, notice the snow!
