Here we go again...

Well, Tess is back on the injured list. She injured her knee at Wednesday night's game. We spent yesterday afternoon at the orthopedic physician's office. She's wearing a knee brace and is out for at least a week (from sports activities). She'll go back to the doctor next Wednesday and hopefully be given the okay to play in Wednesday night's game against those brutes at Bartlett....

Little Pumpkin has been making good progress on the potty training. She goes several times a day at home and at the daycare. It'll probably be a long road still, mostly because we're not quite as dedicated to the process as she might be. But we're trying.

The kids got their progress reports yesterday. Tess has straight A's! Yay Tess! We'll abstain from going into Donald's grades right now... Let's just say, he's working on it.

Daylight hours are increasing. Temps are in the 20's and 30's. Life in Anchorage is pleasant now. However, I had a dream that someone said there was a Shoney's restaurant in Anchorage, which I know to be completely false. But it didn't stop me from dreaming of Hot Fudge Cake. I've really got to go on a diet or something! (We didn't hit the half-price chocolate sale TOO hard yesterday... that's a start!)

PS There's an interesting story in the Anchorage Daily News today about the people in Barrow preparing their seal skin boats for whale hunting.
