Fur Rondy and Iditarod

Looks like I've been a bit negligent on the blog.  Keeping up with this and my school one is endless.  The school one is great these days though, check it out if you have time.

It was Fur Rondy last week, really busy.  Parties, fireworks, dog sled races on the streets downtown, snow sculptures, parades, oh man.  Milo learned how to cheer on the dogs, he seemed to really enjoy that.

Seth and I took Milo on a back country ski that was very short as he threw a huge fit on the way up.  But it was a beautiful day, we did get out and saw some sunny mountains.

A momentous occasion also occurred, Seth cut Milo's hairs.  A bit more than his Grandma cut, it seemed to be shorter than we thought when it dried.  The sucker helped, there was hell to pay when we were done and the sucker had to go.
Sucker cut!


And lastly Milo's big moment.  We were playing at a playground yesterday when a photographer from the Anchorage Daily News asked if he could do a little photo shoot with us.  We played along, I'll add any I find in the newspaper. When the Iditarod is over I'm sure we'll be in there somewhere.  In the meantime, "Go Ally!"


Youth Art Month

We hung the Youth Art Month Show in the museum week before last.  It was fun, 3 days of just being an artist and getting to be very picky, it is practically rewarded when hanging a show.  In the end it looked O.K, I don't care for the museums new "look" and the space they have put us in, every year I swear it will be my last and every year I end up back there.
