I have finally started my blog!

Hi all!  I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get this going.  We have had a lot of adventures that I would love to share with you all, but it is going to take some time.  We have finally gotten settled into our new home in Noatak, Alaska.  For now, I will just post some pictures and put more details later of our trip through Canada, getting to Anchorage at 1 a.m. and flying out by 6 a.m.to Noatak .  Miah slept through her first flight!  We were so tired.  I will tell you stories of being detained at the boarder, traveling 2500 miles in 3 1/2 days, bears in the village, Jonathan bailing out of a sinking boat in the Arctic Ocean, Joshuah getting pneumonia and seeing the tundra change to fall colors!  We miss you all sooooo much!  We miss going to church on Sunday, driving in our car to go anywhere and not packing heat to walk down the road or picking berries!  Stay tuned for more adventures from Alaska!
