Thanks guys for all the kind words. The kids have been a blessing to us. It has been great for Etta to have someone around while I’m gone for two weeks of every month. I work in a remote oilfield.

Their parents are all for them hunting and used to take them deer hunting with them as little kids. The dad’s job had him gone too much to develop that as they got older so I got that opportunity.

Sarah is actually moving back east next week to start looking for a job and to be closer to family. I think she’s really torn between family and her love of Alaska. She’ll be taking half the moose with her and lots of memories. I have a hunch she’ll be back.
