I was a visitor in Alaska, driving a rental car near Girdwood. Out popped a mama moose and baby crossing the road. Only by the grace of God did I manage to miss both. I was very aware it might happen, but still, it caught me by surprise. Thank you for the Q&A!

I love hearing about Alaska.

Seeing a moose in your yard was really nice. Can't believe Violet is 4 months already. She looks adorable. Take care. Xx

A housebound senior I LOVE watching YouTube going on adventures so your content would be most welcome.

You and Mark are awesome parents to your children. God Bless you all.

Don't feel so pressured to have an active summer. You been through a lot and it's ok to take it easy. Don't be so hard on yourself. Let poppa and grands take the boys out fishing and camping.

Hopefully Summer arrives soon. Looking forward to seeing all the adventures you get up to and "firsts" with Baby Violet. 😊

My grandmother lived in Fairbanks for many many years and I got to go twice while growing up. Once during summer and the other time during winter. I absolutely loved both trips and got to see so much and experience what a lot of people never get to see. Gold rush days was going on during the summer trip. I loved panning for gold. Playing in the oh so cold Chatanika River, picking blueberries on the tundra, visiting the library with the enormous Kodiak bear in the foyer and eating the best pizza still to this day at the Blue Marlin, seeing sled dogs so big their paws when giving me a warm Alaska hello would reach my shoulders, so many memories from years ago (I'm 61 now). I'd recommend seeing this beautiful state if you ever get the chance.

Good morning Lauren. You look fantastic with the sun on your face. Enjoy. So much fun for you this summer.

An Alaskan Planner by an Alaskan would be a wonderful resource. Your cruise last year propelled me to get back in the cruise life. We have been on an Alaska cruise, 20 years ago. We have been on many other cruises as well, but have not cruised since 2020. You documented Princess well and I wanted to try a different cruise line so we booked on Princess for September. Love your videos and your family. Those boys love their baby sister and she is going to grow up feeling so cherished and adored with her own special superheroes!

Poor little Violet not liking being alone. 😔 I have to think….she had Maggie with her all those months, then mama, daddy, and nurses at the hospital, plus all the big brothers at home now too. She’s just so used to having someone to see at all times. 💞

Luna is so happy for the sun. I think everyone needs to be reminded that Violet is still just a baby baby. Sounds like you have great plans. Have a super time this summer.

Great timing that the Momma Moose & Baby showed up! Violet smiling at the end was perfect!

Oh I absolutely hate Summer! I get very bad summer depression. Yes, it exists. Snow all year round would be my ultimate dream come true! You are such a lovely family. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

So special to see Violet’s beautiful smile!❤Thanks for sharing!

Can I just say how radiant you are looking and although there has been some sadness (I'm sorry, I don't know how other to type it here and I've been through the same but for you to still get up and carry on the way you do is absolutely remarkable) .. you've an amazing family with a beautiful New Baby to look after, new Adventures and a new outlook on life also. Violet will bring you just as much joy as your boys have. I absolutely adore your family and you've inspired me so very much ❤❤

Yes, I think that would be nice!! Your trip planning that is..
