Ian's back and we've been dog sledding!

For those of you who don't know, Ian returned from the Philippines on Friday which was two days early! We had a wonderful weekend involving dog sledding. We drove up to Trapper Creek yesterday (about 120 miles north) to go mushing with Francine again. We went with her last year when Andrea came up. We had a fantastic time, although my sled tipped over once and threw me off. I landed hard, but I'm ok. It's amazing how fast those dogs can run!

Ian had a good time in the Philippines and from what I can tell the experience was rewarding. He leaves for Iraq in the first or second week of next month. I wish I had him home longer, but at least he'll only be gone 7 months.
