We've had a lot of "firsts" around here the last week or so..
Kara learning to ride her bike with no training wheels!! She's doing great. She's definitely inherited the Johnson gene for adventure and adrenaline rushes. Daddy is expecting great things for her on the snow this winter (snowboarding chick!).
Clay-Clay is not quite ready for no training wheels. He has trouble steering his bike at this point.
Kara all geared up for her first field trip to an outdoor science center where they dug for fossils and found dinosaur foot prints (!?). We broke the rules by not sending her in a coat on top of the sweatshirt on top of her long sleeved tee-shirt. My kids are cold blooded and get hot easily (which is a good thing since Clayton thinks we should keep the house at 60F during the day and then warm it up to 65F when he gets home).
And as of this weekend, first snow! We had some snow showers on Friday but the snow wasn't fluffy or sticking. This afternoon, the flakes are big and fluffy and are sticking to things on our deck. Aaarrggghhh! My car still doesn't have snow tires... the good news is that we are now parking both cars in our heated garage (40F).
So, happy Fall to you all. I keep having to think "fall" because this weather is really like our bitter winters from TX and AZ. Ah, I have much to learn! :)

i love reading about your adventures in alaska. winter is slowly but surely coming upon us here too. i thought i saw snow on the mt. behind our house today, but bennett had to correct me.
Yeah Kara - we love you and miss you. Are you going to pack it down here for your dad's 60th? Can you bring kara??? :)
You shouldn't let Clayton teach the kids how to ride a bike - Clayton taught me and I went straight into a parked car...a memory forever from my big brother.
