Trying to get adjusted

Trying to get adjusted here in Fairbanks has been quite a challenge so far. When we arrived it dipped to 50 degrees below zero and stayed there for a couple of days. Going out was difficult and quite dangerous for us new alaskan drivers. Not to mention Avery HATED getting suited up to go outside...i mean HATED. Not only did he hate the suiting up part but he HATED being shoved into his car seat in a big fluffy marshmellow suit (I kinda would too, I don't blame him). So, needless to say, for the first week we did not venture out much unless we had too. This was one of the coldest winters Fairbanks on record in quite some time.

This week it has warmed up above zero every day. On Sunday we went to try out a church in North Pole, only Avery didn't cooperate (once again it really wasn't his fault). The service didn't start til 11:15 which meant Avery was already 15 mins late for his nap. You mamas out there all know what that means. We kept him in the service until about 12 and then took him to the nursery. Zac left him playing with some blocks and he was fine, but about 15 mins later our number flashes up on the screen in service...uh oh. He apparently is in the stage that he realizes when we are gone now and he hadn't stopped crying since realizing that. When Zac arrived he stopped crying and just sat there, so Zac tried to leave and the crying resumed. Much to his defense every single face was new and Zac and I are the only two stable people he has had for the past couple weeks...poor guy.

Yesterday it was 80 degrees warmer then when we arrived, a woping 30 degrees, IT WAS STILL COLD though. Good thing I like cold. Oh, and it being beautiful here helps a bit too :)
