Greetings from snowy Alaska.  This is just a quick blog to inform everyone of our latest news.  Yesterday morning, Carole, Alaura and Karina were in a major car crash on the way to Anchorage.  Carole hit a patch of black ice and skidded out of control.  The Expedition hit the burm, which was frozen ice, and flipped and rolled into the median.  Windows were shattered and the roof was partially caved in above Carole's head.  The truck did not land on the side the girls were sitting on so they are okay except for some bruises and stiff muscles.  Carole suffered a fracture of the C1 vertebrae and is in a soft neck brace for the next 4-6 weeks and is experiencing some pain.  The vehicle, needless to say, was totaled.  We are so very thankful that the injuries were not more serious than they were.  The next 4-6 weeks will be a time of adjustment, but we know it could have been a lot worse.  We are surrounded by a supportive community and will be provided with meals for a while.  We would appreciate your prayers during this time.
