We've been in our new house for a couple of weeks now. I just love sitting on the back deck in the morning with my coffee listening to the birds and watching the sunshine through the birch tree leaves.

The house gets great sunlight through out the day. The big windows help.

 Our summer hiking started last week. We walked along the coastal trail by the air port here in Anchorage. It's a great walk for bikes and strollers since it is paved the whole way. And kids love it because you can see the air planes coming in low for their landings.
