He eats everything and has been popping teeth non-stop. he's got tooth #7 coming in now, which resulted in his first ear infection and round of antibiotics. Five Is there a stronger word than "love"? Jeff forgot t...

jeff, robin, anna, & james brooks: one foot forward
http://jeffandrobin-alaska.blogspot.com/2013/08/one-foot-forward.html
Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Saturday, August 3, 2013. It's been an adventure to be on one foot. I spent a week or so pretty much in bed, and thanks to my friend Lindsae I read about 7 novels, more leisure reading than I've done in years! Anna and I tackled Laura Ingalls Wilder's "The Long Winter" (since she can relate! No and why is Mama in bed ALL the time? He really had a hard time with all this for awhile. Happy reading some more too! August 3, 2013 at 12:31 PM.

Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Wednesday, February 5, 2014. Me and the kitchen. Lucky me, I married someone who likes to cook. Correction. LOVES to cook! The next big achievement has been pizza dough. We like ours thin and crispy, which wasn't happening the first several times. I have a pretty great and simple recipe from a friend, so with a little more tweaking (bring on the bread flour! Maybe it's part of hitting 40. Getting over the hangups - more than just getting ...

http://jeffandrobin-alaska.blogspot.com/2013/04/lets-bake-cookies.html
Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Most days James takes a nap in the afternoon from about 1:30-3:30, and that's my precious time with just Anna. In the fall when she goes to preschool three mornings per week, I'll have that kind of time with my boy. So right now I am fully enjoying all that goes along with a little girl on the brink of turning four! Good and easy recipe, so here they are. 1 c flour (we used a mix of wheat and white flour). North to Al...

Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Thursday, January 9, 2014. What i love about my daddy - by anna brooks. He pretends to eat plastic bowls. He gives me lots of good hugs. I like going to Zoo Lights with him, and playing my little dolphin game with him. Daddy is really good at playing with me. Daddy likes to eat spicy pizzas, and he likes to fry pancakes and make banana chips. Daddy is smart because he knows how to cook, and it makes him happy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

jeff, robin, anna, & james brooks: waiting for winter
http://jeffandrobin-alaska.blogspot.com/2015/03/waiting-for-winter.html
Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Tuesday, March 24, 2015. As most people know, the winter of 2014-15 in Anchorage will go down in record books for its lack of snow. Shortage of snow. Absence of snow. The winter when Robin complained way too much about the weather. Okay, so that part isn't going into any record books, but I'll go on record here to admit how I spent far too many conversations. "Can you belieeeeeve this winter? Ugh, the East Coast got our winter AGAIN! So, with...

Jeff, robin, anna, and james brooks. Our adventures in alaska! Friday, April 20, 2012. When it's springtime in Alaska. Daylight well past our children's bedtime (and they are night owls! Our sweet baby James turns six months old next Wednesday, and in less than two months our Anna will be 3. He doesn't want to lay on his belly, and she doesn't want to pedal her tricycle; I'll read this in another six months and they'll have outgrown those things! He's definitely a mama's-boy, but more than anything he lo...
