Sweet sunshine and -15 degrees!!

What a crazy winter season we have been having here in Alaska this year.  Last year it was snow and this year it was the cold and then the warm...Its a super impressive display of the unexpected! And super cool. I have come to know this year that Alaskans are prepared for pretty much everything! They expect the unexpected and are always willing to lend a helping hand! 

Speaking of lending a hand, this family is always willing to do that.  They are amazing!!!  And that they asked me to photograph their family was such a blessing because they are just SO MUCH fun to be around! They even were willing to stand in the freezing cold running in and out so they could be photographed in the beautifully clear views this cold brings to Alaska this time of year.  Thank you so much Rud family for braving the cold (including their daughter who was up visiting from college in GA).  Talk about temperature change. Thank you all for being a blessing in our lives and the lives of so many others through your service and kindness! YOU ROCK! :)
