I'm pretty sure the John Butler Trio is my new favorite band. Check out this video of one of their songs "Losing You". John Butler is an amazing guitarist, singer and songwriter. Totally wish they could come to Alaska and play at the Bear's Tooth or something.

Big Update
Ok, so since the last time we have posted much has happened. Pascha - the best Holy Day of all time. With that comes decorating eggs etc. Also this year our dog Katie gave birth to eight puppies on Holy Saturday. Very exciting. On Holy Friday I also put new flooring in the laundry room. It looks great, still needs new paint and trim, but just the new floor looks great. We went camping/clamming in Clam Gulch. It was our first time clamming. It was very sucsessful. I probably got about 100 clams and about 6 and 1/2 cups of clam meat. Kari can make a great clam chowder! The weather has been great, already this year we have had more sunny days than last year. For Memorial weekend we went to Seward again. We camp off Exit Glacier Road, in the 'special use area' i.e. free camping. Anyway, this year it was us the Johnson, Phelps,
Finklers, Rays and Peter Lamb who camped. The Curry's and Curry sisters also hung out. While in Seward we went to Exit Glacier, the Sealife Center, Lowell Point and just generally had late nights and even later mornings. The pictures below are not in order so you will just have to read the captions.
The family at Lowell Point, Emma Phelps is with us. This was Memorial Day - it was beautiful!

Macrina at the Sealife Center, I had to put her on the display table so she would not run off. She is a handful!
That's my girl - excersising her 2nd Amendment Rights!

Joachim learning how to clean clams.
Clams waiting to be cleaned. Basically you bring them home in a bucket of saltwater. You feed them some cornmeal - that helps to clean the sand out of them, then you can clean them.
Me cleaning the clams.
You can barley see Mt Readoubt from our camp in Clam Gultch. There is steam rising from it, there continues to be seismic activity.

Macrina loves her Nutella!
Another puppy - the eyes are still closed on this one.

This is my bedroom. I painted and did the floor and trim the week before Holy Week.
