Summer in Alaska, 3rd part

About the fishing, Jonathan and Benjamin had their first catch this summer. Jonathan had 2 fishes in his first net. He was just sitting on a small stool, when the net began to vibrate, he began to pull the long handle out and behold there were 2 reds!! Benjamin got 3 or 4 total, good for their first year. Nikolas was fighting some allergies, so he caught just a few this year~ I feel bad now,  I was really hard on him, because of not wanting to keep a net in the water, but his strength was not there, but I realized this toward the end of the trip.... Alexander was our hard worker, he and father did most of the fishing! It has began like a tradition that I go to the beach alone with the boys, and then Dad arrives late that day or next. I put a whole production of a house,  not only the tent with air mattresses, sleeping bags, extra clothe etc, but also a canopy with a kitchen area, and resting-shelter like area, camping chairs, were we warm up if the day is rainy. I do most of the cleaning of the fish. We bring wood, and keep a fire most of the day. Nikolas and Alexander's are in charge of making the fire!! 10 and 12 years old only!! They boys have such fun when we are not fishing... and when we fish too, of course. They make boats, dams, castles, new friends, they do not clean up much at all for about 3 days!, bonk fish, play with fish guts, make fish heads talk, eyes come out, etc. ~Family works together and have fun together~ 

School is approaching with giantic steps, and I do not know what to do yet. Homeschooling is what all they want to do, but Jonathan! Dennis and I are worry that I might not be able to keep up with it. I have been depressed for a couple of years, and last winter had been the worst, so though, I have been seeing a doctor and I feel better now, for about month and a half, this is summer only, so the worst is often to come in the winter... ~School or not to school, to be or not to be~  

Business is busy too, and successful, so we are not moving out of beautiful Alaska this year or next... I think-hope. 
Home is being fixed of some more old age sicknesses lol. Our house was built in 1950 or so, I like my old home, it is comfortable, quiet, away from the city, children - boys friendly. Dennis has his garage, my Mom have a little cabin to come and stay in; a little place to shelter friends  anytime. Lots of to do lists, that I seem never to catch up with. ~Normal life, good life.~

Well, now that I have almost catch up with updating my blog, I must add up some pictures... next in my list to do. You might want to come back and visit again in a few day, and see how tall these boys are growing!!

In all things we are to prove what it means to be One. One couple, One family, One focus, One End.  And in all things to prove our great calling: to be One with the One that love us best. Hope you are enjoying your summer too.
