News from "Up here"

A week ago, we went to the Alaska State Fair and Logan had lots of fun on the rides (pic above) She sure is growing up and enjoying new things all the time.I also put a pic of her up where she is wearing the cutest little dress outfit that was hand me down from a friend. She loves to wear it.

Today, we have just returned from our first camping trip our new "used" motorhome. We took it down to Homer and camped on the Spit with some friends. We had a nice time even if it rained about 80% of the time. Logan had fun on the beach and enjoyed camp food and the fire. Tanner was pretty tuckered out too. Seems like summer is fading into the sunset since every night that sunset is happening a little earlier. The leaves are starting to turn and if rain is any indicator (we've had lots), then we are gonna get buried this winter. Not much else goin' on, everyone is well and happy. Oh, Logan is starting "school" next week with two 4 hour days at a daycare. This gives her some great opportunities for group play and activities and also gives me time to do a month of therapy for my neck (2 bulged discs) before my nucleoplasty next month. Pray that I get healed before then!! Blessings to all-lots of love- The Bush fam

Serious bath time fun

Recent news and fun times

We have had a busy summer with running to the park, playing in the back yard, visiting Kenai to fish and meet friends. Logan has really been growing and her vocabulary is growing as well. Our summer has been a little rainy so when it's nice we take full advantage. We are going to Kenai again this coming week to "dipnet" for Red Salmon and maybe halibut fishing in Homer. So far, the boat has seen some good action with halibut being pulled in, a few Alaskan "skate" (sorry, no pics-they are ugly and sort of like a stingray) and let's just say that we threw those buggers back in but what a pain to reel up 80 pounds for a 100 feet! Also, Sherri got a Kenia King Salmon. Check out the pics of fishing, video of Logan with her new puppy Tanner (Lhasa-Poo Mix) and the 4th of July family pic, Logan taking a bath with Grace, and Logan with friends Justus & Keegan and also pics with Grammy B and Uncle Jim...Lots of love to everyone.

I am a very, very bad blogger

Forgive me, this is one of the things that never seems to get done. I am going to summarize-we moved to Eagle River AK in November, we are making new friends slowly and haven't found our church home just yet but God will work that out soon. Kristen has had neck problems and therapy and epidural steroid shots and lots of prayer but we just haven't got the healing I need..but that too will work out soon. That's my motto currently, it's gonna work out. Got to keep the faith. We had a lovely Christmas in our new home and Grammy B was here. We went to Cancun Mexico in March '08 and that was awesome, Gramma T came for a part of that trip and it was nice to see Mom. Peter is working WAAAAAyYYY too much and I am going to have to punish him...let me count the ways! No seriously, we are grateful for his job, they are very good to him. I still do some data work from home and make a bit, just a bit mind you, but every little bit helps! Logan is growing up so fast, I remember thinking it was so slow that first year but my, things change. She is just getting her tongue and speech going and she will be chattering away soon. She is a very friendly and happy gal. She is the absolute light of my life, even on the hard days, which are few and far between. Well, check out these recent pics from Mexico, Easter and whatever else I throw on....a video clip from our condo in Mexico, short and sweet.

God bless you, Much love-The Bush Fam
