Our first week

We have had a great first week in our new home. We have been out most everyday looking for furniture at every thrift store and furniture store from Wasilla to Anchorage. We haven't had a whole lot of luck yet, but we are still looking. 

We got out internet and Directv hooked up this week, so that is a big plus! We have been to almost every restaurants in town. The house is slowly getting our personal touch as we get a few things up on the wall. I put my china up in my new hutch.

We went to Alaska gourmet subs in Anchorage and Ralph, Kate, and Ryleigh had a reindeer sausage sub, and they loved it! I tried it too, and it was really good. 

Ralph has made friends with our next door neighbor, Brody, who is also 8! They have been working on building a fort in the backyard!

We have a greenhouse, and it is full of the most delicious tomatoes I have ever eaten! There are also habanero peppers, and different types of squash!

We tried building a fire in the firepit, but it started raining :( The girls were Doing a great job of helping us find sticks for the fire!

Ryleigh says, "Why won't it stop stinkin' raining?!"

Thanks to our landlords, Milo and I got to go out to the local theater to see the musical Brigadoon! That was a lot of fun! Our landlord played a lead role, and his wife and their kids came over and stayed with our kids So we could go! We really are blessed with great landlords! The kids had a blast too! They had a dance party

Next week, we will start getting into a routine. Monday Milo starts work and the kids start school. We still have a few more days of freedom though. Tomorrow I am planning in going to a Fall Family Fling at the local sports complex, and we are hoping to try out a church on Sunday.
