We walked to school one morning and we were surprised by all the snow!
At lunch time most of the snow had melted away.
I saw this tiny snail on the boardwalk one day. It was as small as my thumbnail.
Moose burgers! I bought a George Forman grill at a garage sale this summer, it has been handy!

The Alaska Bush Order arrived this week! Since groceries are so expensive here at our stores, we like to order our bulk groceries through a shopping company called "Alaska Bush Shoppers." Basically, we fax them our grocery list and they have employees in Anchorage who "shop" for us at places like Walmart, Sam's Club, and Costco. Then, they package up our groceries and ship them to us. They do charge for packing and shipping, but it saves us a lot of money in the long run.
Some of the guys loading up the truck to deliver the boxes to all the teachers.
This first shipment was all of the frozen foods.
Here are some pictures I took just walking around the school and the teacher housing.
The gym and middle/high school is on the left, and the elementary wing is connected on the right.
The sewage pipes are all above ground, so they don't freeze during the winter and so they can be accessed easily if they need maintenance.
The elementary on the left and a boardwalk leading to some teacher houses.
We had two days of staff meetings this week. We finally got caught up on our grade books.
Puddles everywhere!
"The deck" outside the school gym. It is a popular hang out spot for most of the kids and teenagers.
The red building is going to be the new preschool and is also the current classroom for Yup'ik class (where they learn the native language).
The boardwalk from school to our house.
The school's van and truck.
