This is actually the only good photo this week… but it sure is an awesome one!!!

 ––––––––

The rest of these photos were dated wrong and ended up in this week's folder by mistake -      but they are pretty sweet (and funny!) so I'm including them anyway.  

Leftovers from the Family Visit...

We'll keep the rest of this photo shoot private… ;-)

April 20, 2016 - April 26, 2016 - 21 months and 1 week

Spent the day outside for Earth Day, with Kadin just barely still fitting into his Being Green shirt.  Birch the cat LOVES Kadin for some reason and follows us wherever we go outside.  Kadin laughs and chases him and even occasionally grabs his tail (only if I'm too slow!) but Birch just sprints away, turns around, and comes back again.  
Later in the week, having pizza with Nana Baiba and getting dressed up to celebrate the showing of Hairspray with swing dance lessons, open dancing, and lots of kids running amok!

Family Visit!  

Super fun week with Nana Baiba, Butch, Teresa, and Linda.  Kadin had so much fun and felt right at home with the Baltimoron gang.

Love this Family Portrait!

Had a sweet little fire by the River, not a bad place for an afternoon nap...

Silly games with Nana Baiba at my place!

 Kadin hangs out at Baiba and Butchie's place, having fun in the tub with Tia Teresa.  He always enjoys his tub-time! 

Yum!  Teresa and Linda cook up some scrumptious Italian spaghetti sauce and Kadin doesn't hesitate to dip into it.

We have an amazing scenic flight in the Alaska Range.   

Baiba is up front, and here's the rest of the crew in the de Havilland Beaver. 

It's a beautiful sunny day on the glacier, and we make snow angels, admire the beauty, and wonder how we got so lucky. 

It was certainly a lot of fun, but not the first time Kadin had ever seen such splendor so he was fast asleep on the way home.

As many times as I see it, I still can't stop trying to capture the massive beauty of the mountains.

And finally, at the end of the week, and a bit late in the season, I tap 3 of my birch trees.  I put two of the spouts low enough for Kadin to reach and he'd grab a spoon and a cup and try pour it out to drink it.  The sweetest yummiest water ever!

Kadin loves grabbing my camera and taking the occasional selfie.  Cute! 

Now that the snow is gone, Kadin has exchanged his sled for the cargo cart!  He'll pull it for a while but then decides to hop in and catch a ride. 

Kadin must remember his earlier days when I bathed him in this stock pot.  But he doesn't fit at all anymore!!!

Just a reminder… here he is when he was just 27 days old!

Fairly mellow week, back to work, day care, and the occacional romp up and down the driveway.  I'm sure more exciting things happened, but since I didn't get a photo of them, I really don't remember anymore!

Kadin's new favorite toy – an old flip phone of mine.  Wonder who he's talking too!

Off and running!  Not an exciting photo, but it was all I could do to keep up with him.  The video is a lot cuter!

Just found a few more pictures.  Here are two I like in black and white – he was playing with a timer while I looked at a puppy.
