Overflowing

My house has been overflowing with friends and family. Howling Huskies happened this past weekend and Kene and Millie Jackson spent a few nights with us. My sister Kotya and her family stopped by (but I didn't take pictures!) and will be spending some nights with us. We also met Kris' friend from Arizona - Heather. They have been communicating now for probably a year +. It's nice to meet her finally - in person as she plans to spend the next two weeks visiting here in Alaska. First impressions of Heather? She is tall and has a beautiful smile!

We went to Chepos yesterday, a place our family likes to go for Mexican occasionally. Mom and I shared a chicken enchillada dinner and the rest of the couples each shared the deluxe appetizer plate.

The sunrise a few mornings ago. I've been seeing some sunrises since I've been getting up early to bring Moto outdoors before he overflows. House breaking is coming along alright.

We have been seeing the results of a very industrious beaver along the shoreline here too. He slaps his tail and does a very loud plunge into the lake when he is around. Chevy cannot resist jumping into the lake to chase him around then the loons come over for a closer look.

We have not had time to be bored at all lately. Doug has been busy as a beaver himself trying to keep Meadow Creek open and flowing with that beaver around. The beaver dammed up the creek so well that the lakes water level has risen and overflowed its banks to the point of flooding Marie's cute garden! Between the little critters that have been eating things up and now the water her garden is in poor shape.

Check out Marie's Blog

Marie has created a great slideshow of our visit with Doug's folks, or Jan and John, or Mom and Dad, or Gramma and Gramppa, or Yaya and Opa.

Thanks for sharing your photos Marie, they are always so good!

Our family definitely is not perfect, but her great photos make us look pretty close to it. ha
