I'm back to give a little update on our life here in Barrow. I've noticed just from being here over a week that the days are getting shorter (by at least 20 minutes every day!) and the temps are dropping. One day last week it was 37 degrees and ice melting everywhere, and today it is 25 and snowing!

Jose and I both try to get out and walk as much as we can before it gets too cold. We went all out on high quality winter gear before we left, and I'm sure glad we did! I've been able to walk to the library and grocery store (a 20 minute stroller walk) and have been quite comfortable. If I take Amaury in the stroller, I make sure I dress him in a onesie with feet, a bear suit from old navy (with feet, hands and head coverage. Then I put him in a cozy car seat sleeping bag thing. I'd say he stays pretty warm, as I've caught him asleep many times during our treks out. Our jogging stroller is awesome here too. I lock the front tire and can scale big mounds of snow!

Here is a video of some kids as I walked by......
We celebrated Jose's birthday last night by opening up our pumpkin stout we bought in Anchorage. Yummmmm! Then we headed out to Arctic Pizza. They serve pretty much any kind of food you can think of. I wasn't expecting much, but to our surprise....the pizza was tasty!
The cake I made for him was not....
An update on Amaury is that he LOVES eating like a big boy. He sees Jose and I eat, and he can't help but grab everything! A few of his favorites are butternut squash, sweet potato and pears. He didn't like carrots too much, but he managed to eat a few (before making a gagging face.)
We are also enjoying his ever-emerging mullet:
Love to you all from Alaska!
