Sunlight

The sun is coming, the sun is coming!  I have mentioned it in previous posts about the daylight and darkness here in Alalska.  We have long dark winter days and hot sunny summer days that last nearly 24 hours.  We are currently reaching almost 12 hour days of daylight and every day we gain almost another 5 minutes (right up until summer solstice).  We are fortunate that our house faces the right direction and the distance from the mountain is perfect so that we get sunlight in our house for the small amount of time it is up in the winter.  I have noticed recently just how early it has started to get sunny during morning playtime.  Sometimes the kids just love sitting in the sun, playing trains and drinking their smoothies.

On a side note, I swear we dust but when that sun comes streaming in, it seems to pick out every single dust particle we have missed hahaha.
