Samantha's Moose - Alexander

Samantha got to open an early Christmas present this year. Here is Samantha with her new moose "Alexander".

Christmas program at church

At our Christmas program Sunday night, Susan and Samantha performed Christmas carols while we all sang along.

We also had a 'snow ball' fight. John is showing really good form on his throws.

Saw-whet owl banding

Samantha and I recently volunteered along with some friends of ours to help band Saw-whet owls in the Yellowwood State Forest near Bloomington. Not much is known about the population or migratory patterns of these owls, and the banding operation is an attempt to learn more.

Susan and I later went again. Susan got to hold the owls as the banding leader extracted them from the nets. It was a very educational and fun experience for all of us!
