Tom has Charlie shoveling snow so we can get off the porch. I am not sure the kids will ever come up here again. The weather has just been so windy and that makes the cold even colder. It is just too bad to even go outside. Of course we do, we went to school yesterday and they were both certainly impressed with the school facilities and especially all of the computers in the library.

The Eskimo Dancing celebration has been canceled twice now due to the blowing snow and cold temperatures. I do hope it transpires before the children leave - I will be so disappointed if they don't get to witness this event first hand.

This photo shows how working in a small kitchen with three dogs running around can be difficult.


Charlie and Elizabeth are trudging to school during a clearing of weather that lasted about an hour.


Here's Charlie returning later - you can barely see him.

We've been watching lots of movies and playing with the dogs.
