Even though Margie remains in Arizona, at her sister's house which is buried under four feet of new snow, unable to get to her mother's house 45 miles away because the roads have been impassable, unable to communicate with her mother because the cell phone service is down in her village as is the power, it was a family day for me today.
I went into Anchorage and did all those things that I earlier told you I would do.
Yet, even though by my usual standards it is still fairly early, just 14 minutes after midnight, this is one of those nights when my lifestyle has caught up to me.
I am simply too tired to make a full post tonight. I can't do it. I must go to bed.
But I know that some of the Kalib adorers among you were counting on seeing him, so here he is, being carried into his parent's home in the arms of his father.
Now that you have seen him and know that he is fine, I will go to bed. I will still make a full report on the day, perhaps first thing after I get up, eat breakfast, read the paper, take a walk... including my full review of our dining experience at the Kabab and Curry - Alaska's newest Indian Restaurant.
Or I might just take a little break from it all and hold it for tomorrow.
Maybe. We will see.
Goodnight!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
It would not be right for me to go to bed and not provide an update on Lavina and our new-baby-in-waiting. Lavina continues on as she has been - experiencing light contractions, about an hour apart, still hoping that baby will stay put until the grandmas can get here.
But we don't know.
Baby could get serious about getting out and into the world at any time.
