Today and this week has provided many opportunities to be thankful. I am thankful for our family, we both have great families and the fact that they have supported us through this whole move even though it is tough for them is incredible. I am thankful for modern technology, the oportunity to blog and share…

Did the mountains grow?
Growing up in Arizona there were two things we had a lot of sunshine and clear sky. With that being said, I feel like its best if we just get the obvious out there and move on. Deal? In Juneau it rains A LOT! We are talking 100 inches of rain a year, a lot….
BB Happenings: Swinging
It’s natural when it is sunny to want to go and be outside, however, when its been raining the last 3 weeks its necessary to go outside. We made sure we took advantage of the beautiful weather all weekend and we went and played at the park. This park is seriously the coolest park I…
Around our table: M&M Oreo Bars
After being here for a while and getting a little more settled in I started to notice my sweet tooth was calling me. Being in the indulgent mood I gave in and made the first thing that I could find that looked easy and irresistible. These bars just so happened to fit the bill and…
Warning: Enchilada sauce may contain peanut butter…
D and I are big fans of Mexican food. LaFonda is sorely missed here, and I can’t speak for D but even places like Taco Bell and Del Taco are missed. We were quick to check out the local food scene and Mexican food was some of the first we tried. So far we haven’t…
Around our table: New England Clam Chowder
Since moving to Juneau I have had the oportunity to flex my coking muscles. It feels great to get to make good food for my family every day. I also like that it takes the stress out of choosing where to eat, especially in Juneau where the options are incredibly slim. I was taught at…
What else could go wrong, at least its not raining.
Shortly after we got into Juneau the check engine light came on in our car. Great we both thought just what we need our only car going down. Thank goodness it waited until we got here a least. Anyways, I took the car to O’Reily and they ran the diagnostic test and told me basically…nothing….
Chatter Box
I can’t imgine where she gets this from…but BB is a chatter box. She loves to talk and coo and make all sorts of noises. She has been cooing for a while but on March 23, she started to say dada. It started as a string of dadadadadadada while we were at the Library reading…
6 months
Where has the time gone?! Everyone says, “Cherish every moment because time flies” My thoughts on that, it’s misleading. They should say hold on tight because if not your going to wake up one morning and your tiny little baby is going to be 6 stinking months old. To think that our sweet little lady…
Best view from a beach we’ve ever had!
There is one beach in Juneau, called Sandy beach, of course. On Sunday the sun was out and it was a beautiful, clear day, and we decided that we should go check out this beach. We packed up the dog and the baby and head to the beach. R was so excited to get out…
Optimistic Arizonans
Everyone I have ever met associates Arizona with the desert. That is a fair association given it is the desert but I always find it a little funny, especially after moving here, how many people think Phoenix when they think of Arizona. We receive a lot of comments about how much of a climate change…
Just so Juneau
