Yes...we still have tons of snow!

It's been a while..... here is a little update. Everything is still going well with our house, we are getting super excited! Adam has been crazy-busy on this rotation....working AT LEAST 12 hour days, usually more. I have been doing a pretty good job of having dinner ready when he gets home! ;) He is currently inpatient.... in critical care (of course, he could explain this better)--but the point is that he has been horribly busy and seeing some horrible stuff at the hospital. He has been involved in quite a few "codes"--where the doctor is shouting what he needs at Adam and he has to formulate it to that patient (example...a premature baby). Unfortunately, not all of the situations have ended happy. BUT it is a good experience for Adam and he is learning a lot, not to mention---how much pressure and stress and pharmacist can be under! Who woulda known that pharmicists DON'T just count pills and hand them out at Walmart and Walgreens!
I have also been super busy with grades, field trips, and conferences. We are into the home-stretch, 4th quarter! Also.... because of retirements and a teacher switching grades.... I GET TO TEACH 1st GRADE AGAIN!!! If you can't tell...I'm super duper excited!

Alrighty.... so our friend told us about a place where you can hike up the back of Flat Top Mountain and then literally...slide down on your butt to the bottom. We were just like, "Hmm... okay." But-Oh my goodness....we had SO MUCH fun!!! The hike up was a bit painful, but totally worth it!

This is Shawn, sliding down one of the little side "hills"

What an adorable family! Erin, Shawn, and Cheena getting ready to slide!

Taking a break to play on the mountain!

Shawn, Cheena, Erin, and I making our way up.

Yes, there were some places where Erin and I were seriously crawling...my legs were shakin!

This is the view we got to enjoy on our field trip to Portage Glacier in Girdwood. This is the theater, overlooking the lake and mountains. THE PERFECT day for a field trip!

Another view, on our way back from snowshoeing

MRS. HARRIS snowshoein!

My kiddos making their way on snowshoes! Check out the view!

This is what we saw on our bus ride down to Girdwood. This is taken from the bus. Believe it or not, some of my kiddos have never even been out of Anchorage.... you should've heard their reaction when we turned the corner and saw the ocean/mountains! It was amazing and brought tears to my eyes. HOW SAD that they live in this GoRgEoUs state and don't get the chance to enjoy it because of their family "situations". I was so happy to take them on this trip...even though I hate field trips as a teacher!
