This is me in the polk, being pulled by my big sister. This is how our family takes the little people along who can't ski on their own yet ... gets very warm and sleepy inside those polks
And here I am all warm and cozy in my Mama's sling:
My Papa, my cousin and two of my older brothers had a great time dogsledding:
We went out to watch as the local musher got his sled and dogs ready and as he took some other visitors out for a ride. Some of my siblings and cousins might go out on the dogsled tomorrow:
The musher with all the puppies has this tepee set up as a warming hut:
It happens so quick! One day they are born, so tiny and new ... we are priviledged to watch as they learn and they grow ... and one day we'll watch as they take flight all on their own. Its beautiful really, but it happens so quick. We want to cherish and remember and never forget the blessings we are living today. Some journal, some scrapbook, and some of us blog ... its all about cherishing the memories God gives us today.
Our family began taking photos of our baby girl everyday in 2008, hoping to watch and see as she grows. Being our 5th child we were worried we might miss something. Then we relized that if we put them all on a blog, our friends and family could watch her grow, too.
We did get a picture almost everyday for her first year. Enjoy her photos and stories here:
