Majestic Mt. McKinley is part of the AK Range, but the other mountains have their own beauty. Cook Inlet's famous mud flats are in the foreground. At low tide these flats are extremely dangerous to walk out onto and yet most summers a tourist or two tries it

View from the Coastal Trail near downtown Anchorage. When Bernard was practicing law in Anchorage, he often had this view from his office window. I say "often" as this mountain is so massive it creates its own weather and is frequently not visable

After the adoption ceremony we had a very small dinner with just old, close family friends. Deb is one of my closest friends and her boys special to us - yes, they still call me Kathywatts, one word and said very quickly

Didn't get a good photo of Yolanda's husband, Mark, maybe because Evan was hogging Yoly's attention - they really hit it off
