Lisa, Nathan, Marina, Rebecca Hubbard and David Haynes joined us today at Anchorage Football Stadium as Jake played his last game of the season. The Eagles lost, but Jake celebrated a hard-won personal triumph as he walked off the field the last time in 2007. From the heat and dust of July to the rain and mud of September, he competed with kids who had a lot more experience. He got pushed back and kept driving forward….got knocked down but didn’t give up. Jake is already talking about next season, but one thing is certain: we couldn’t be more proud of him than we are today. Thanks for a great season, Jake! Love, Dad

I made it to the Denali Princess. It is my first business trip. It is beautiful here. The fall color is at it’s peak. I will try and add some pictures to this post when I get home. I took a lovely one of a moose hoof in a storm drain. It must be moose season in Alaska. Jon took time off work to stay home with the kids while I am away. They are planning a big ham dinner tomorrow. I am hoping it is all gone by the time I get back. I hope everyone is enjoying fall. Take Care. Love, Lisa
