Happy Spring!
We were given a gift of 6 new inches of snow here this morning! So much for tulips and green grass. We are in the mid to low 30's and have had blue sky and winds that make it seem colder. I am thank-ful for the sunlight. It does not get dark here until almost 9:30 and gets later everyday. I was hoping to see the robins by now. No such luck. For that matter, I am not sure I get robins here in Alaska. I still have the bald eagles screaming at me at night, but no robins.
Mom will be here on Wednesday for the surgery on Thursday. I am so very happy she will be here! I will check in at 5:30 am at providence hospital and be there for 2-3 days.I am not that worried about it, but it is only Sunday.
We all were pretty sick a week ago and seem to have gotten past it. I had a really bad cough and chest thing that kept me from work for two days and one Dr. visit for a total of $215.00.Why is it that it cost you more to be sick then to be well.Tony still has a little bit of a sinus infection, but Karter never really got a bug. Thank goodness for that. I remember when we moved to Fairbanks and we got every sickness known to man. Seems like we are just adjusting again.With summer coming, I am sure all the bugs will have visited us and left.
The Idirod is over and Lance Makey won for the third year in a row. He was a patient of mine when I worked for Dr. Cerney in Fairbanks. Great guy. Always wanted to give me one of his retired dogs.I cried as we watched him and the dogs glide into Nome.I know the dogs love it, but 1000 miles in the cold is a long way. He is good to his animals and that is what matters. Next year I am getting more involved with the races. Who knows mabe I will run some dogs in a local race someday. I would really like that.I will need more dogs! I am not sure a lab & basset hound could run that long.
Sorry I have not been keeping you up to date very well. Had some issues with the internet and work is always busy. That I hope will change soon. I want to work 4 days a week and hope that I can do that by summer. After 23 years of this work, I am bored and need something new to do. FISHING is what I am doing this year. Dad will be here on May 12th and I hope we can catch the big ones!
I will keep you up to date on the surgery when I get home. I love you all!

I do want to be kept up on the surgery...we'll pray for you. I will be checking back in later. I'm glad your mom is coming...that will be so helpful. Mine is coming for the baby, and that will be a lifesaver! Moms are the best. Good luck with surgery - this will make life a little better...right? :-) We're getting really excited! less than 3 weeks or maybe sooner! yay!
Thanks for the update. We miss you. Sarah M called from the office to see if I wanted to come in and interview student assistants. I told her I would if she needed me to, but I had never done that before....YOU had always done it. She said, okay, no problem. 2 days later, John told me that it wasn't Sarah M. who wanted me to come in, it was HIM. Who know how his mind works? So, we interviewed a nice student today, but I don't think she's TOUCHED a patient more than a few times. But, raw clay may be good for genny to mold.
Jacob says..."Oh NO!" now. Totally in context too. So cute. He is also throwing little fits and crying more because he can't talk. Fun toddler stage. He loves drinking through straws....thanfully he had great leassons from you :)
Keep me posted. Love Love Love you!
