Alaskan Family

Two weeks is not long enough for more than a smattering of visit, especially when they're stretched between so many people who want to see them, but here are the two pictures I have that prove Andy and Wendy & Co. visited. A lot happens in two years! Ethan and Anna got married, Jacy is now married, Dakota graduated from high school, Aponi is getting her Master's degree...and so it goes.

Speaking of Aponi, we're hoping the fact that now her miniature horse Captain is living with us will entice her back for a visit before this two-year stint is up. You could visit him EVERY DAY, Aponi!!!! Plus, we have a spare futon in the library!!!  ;)

We had all the Johnson siblings and their families here for a whirlwind get-together. I'd wanted to get a family picture then, but the day was so busy with people coming and going that I never got even one picture from the day. Here's the lame stand-in-- with half of us missing at the airport, masked like tame bandits, right before they flew back to snow and ice. We miss them.

Still waiting on that private jet service that lets us see them more often than once every two years...
