We returned this week from our yearly trip to Alaska to see my family. I know that I have posted A LOT of pictures, but we had a ton of fun & I wanted to share some of that with you!
Probably the best part of the trip was seeing that my Dad's health seems to be mostly back to normal. He has gained back the weight he lost while fighting cancer last fall. He is also getting stronger, and having only one lung only slightly slowed him down. He looks great and I am thankful to my Father in Heaven that Dad is still alive & kicking!
