Not much new has happened, mostly just more snow and I drove on Alaskan ice for the first time this winter! We originally planned to go to the North Pole this weekend with Kaylani to see Santa (she's already started a list) but... Long story short.... Elson has to go to the field all weekend so it will just be me and Lu! We are very frustrated that he has to go to the field, and the reason is an even more frustrating one. He's been training on a new type of equipment and I'll try to post the link here:

But, incase that doesn't work (and I can't tell because I'm on my phone) it's called the Land Warrior System and it was featured on Future Weapons. He says he thinks it will be beneficial and they have been using it overseas for the past couple years, although he didn't use it on either of his previous deployments. So all week he's been in classes for that.
We'v been trying some new foods and I attempted homemade Chicken Kiev for the first time last night. It was a major learning experience, but it turned out edible. And of course my sweet husband said it was amazing and ate two servings, but this is from the same man who complimented my spaghetti by saying, "well, it's better than Army food.." hahaha silly husband!
Kaylani has been doing well and we're definitely about to hit a growth spurt! She eats more than me or Elson! I'm just waiting for her to grow a couple inches over night. She has a doctors appointment on Friday so I will see how much she weighs and how tall she is then!
We went to pioneer park for the first time but everything was closed for winter until May (snow breakup is usually in April here) so we didn't get to do much but play at the park and see the buildings from the outside. It looked like a really cool place so I can't wait to be able to do more!
