After four separate flights and 24 hours - Charlie and Elizabeth arrived in Chevak. They were almost speechless - but glad to see us. We sat and talked and made pizza and Tom and Charlie watched a movie. Liz and I sat side by side at my desk using our individual computers - had a great time comparing notes about our libaries.

They just missed going with the fisherman teachers to check some nets - arranged time was 2pm and they did not arrive till later. You can't just wait for a plane to arrive around here - you might be waiting hours - so they had to go. However, there is another trip planned for Saturday and I am hoping the kids can go. It will be very cold - we are getting lots and lots of snow.

Charlie looks great with his haircut and shave. Liz is even smaller than she was this summer. Both seem healthy and happy.

Here are a few photos...
The Digital Comets had a great time decorating the gingerbread cookies.

This is Destiny, who has vision issues - but she did a great job with her cookies.

If you look carefully you will be able to count three dogs - not counting ole' Tom.

Here are Liz and Charles when they arrived. Their first words were "I want to go home." and "What are ya'll doing here?" They will both love this place by the end of the week.

Roxie and Blondie are extremely jealous of each other although great friends. Anyway, You can't pet one without the other demanding attention also.

Charlie and Tom took a ride on the 4-wheeler to the grocery store a little later.
