This has been a busy year for the Payne family. It started when we moved to Anchorage, Alaska in December 2006 from Cedar Hills, Utah. Kara has loved living here and especially loves eating all the snow she can get her hands on. It is beautiful here in the winter and we can't wait to see what else the winters have to offer.
Kassi has had a bunch of firsts - sitting, crawling, walking, sledding, playing in the snow, new foods, and now she is even talking a little. We have loved watching her grow up and especially love her red hair.
Brian has taken advantage of our new home and was able to go snowmobiling and get in a little fishing. He is excited to be a resident this year and try out dip netting for the first time.
We've even been able to get out a little as a family. We spent the weekend at an old family favorite spot - Gracious House. We pulled out our bikes and the girls enjoyed being pulled around the neighborhood and we were even able to go hiking.
We also spent time this summer visiting parks around the city with other moms and kids from the ward and Kara took swim lessons. She just loves being in the water and has no fear. When fall rolled around, we started Kara in pre-school. She loves learning and spending time with other kids.
