The New Kid on The Block

Meet Toby's new friend Phil

Their friendship started last week when this little guy stopped by to hang out with Tob while he worked in our front yard. Tob said they chit chatted for an hour or so before he finally had no other choice but to load up in the bus and go get the kids from school. At this time phil ran over to the bus and then proceeded to chase after him down the street until he could no longer keep up. I think Tob was disappointed when he returned that day and he was gone. Lucky for us Phil returns each day for a little one on one time with Tob. I think he likes us all but obviously prefers Tob as he will ditch us and run to him if he happens to be around.

This morning Nojah said something in regards to Phil calling him Jerry and then I corrected him and said no his name is "Phil" and lex said ya Nojah his name is "Bill"......Whatever,
honestly I can't even tell you why he named him Phil.

Friends, Sunshine and Powder


On Tuesday we were lucky enough for Jennifer to ditch work grab Jeremiah and come snowshoeing with us. The 4 of us headed off in the sunshine and powder wandering around until we ran into these huts, which include a sauna, mess hall, latrine, and 2 sleeping quarters with warm fireplaces in each. We knew they existed but had never run across them until now. Very cool place. We visited, ate lunch in the mess hall, and then reluctantly returned home to pick up kids from school. Someday soon we will be back :-)
