A real update

Since it has been since August since we last posted anything substantive, here's what has been happening in a nutshell:

1. October, the arrival of Darby, our third dog, see the post below. Really, three dogs rounds out the pack.

2. Camping at the Matanuska Glacier. The picture at the top of the page was taken by Zach during that trip. It was beautiful, but extremely cold, probably -20 degrees or colder while we were out taking pictures.

3. Travels back to Iowa for the holidays which were hectic, but it was very nice to see everyone.

My nephew, Jaden, enjoying his Christmas presents.

4. SNOW!! After returning home from Iowa, we found several feet of snow had fallen and it continues to fall a couple of times a week. It makes for lots of fun skiing and snowshoeing. Also, it's very pretty.
Just off the trail at Russian Jack park here in town.

Other than those highlights, Zach continues to be busy with finishing his masters degree as this is his last semester. I am as busy as ever with work, often traveling a couple of times a month. We have plans in March for a bit of a vacation - driving from Portland, Oregon to San Diego, California and seeing what we see along the way, while camping, sightseeing and visiting friends out that way.

Hey there, this is Zach's old roommate Julia. I just happened to check if there was any news from you guys, and, well, there was! I promise I'm sending out an email soon with my new contact information etc., but I just moved to Germany at the beginning of February. I really will write soon with real information, but Zach, you can see what we're doing on our blog here: julesandjer.blogspot.com
I'm glad to hear that you're both doing well.
