April's Fools!  Yesterday's photos were random kids off of the internet, but here is the real photo of Kadin, out on a hike around X-Y Lake.

And today, we did Storytime at the library and then he fell asleep on my lap as I was returning clients' phone calls.

It was the sickie parade today, Kadin and I both had colds, Annie is just slow and arthritic, and Buck has a sprained paw, so we kept the walk short and sweet.  

At least it was warm out (32ºF or so) and it felt nice to get a bit of fresh air.  And it's 5pm and still plenty of daylight! Yay!

Kadin and I took a short walk today in the... RAIN!  Yuck!  But at least we didn't have to wait til summer to try out the rain cover for our backpack.  It was nice and cosy and dry for Kadin. 

And this photo is from yesterday, and took forever to capture... if you look closely, his first two little teeth are emerging!!!

It was such a fun 2 day trip to the cabin, I just had to post all 4 pictures from today to sum it up.  

 Here is our "dog pile" on the floor.  Cosy, warm, and most importantly, wide enough and on the floor so there was nowhere for Kadin to fall.

And here, Kadin was getting a post-breakfast belly cleaning by Rivet.  He couldn't stop laughing!















Beautiful weather and a beautiful baby.  Damn, I love him!

Taking a quick break before heading back to the cabin and then back to town.  
The snow was so deep up here, the dogs, were swimming in it up to their chests if they left our tracks.

Fun in the late winter sun!  We went up to Danial's cabin for the night, and Kadin is really starting to stay awake and enjoy the hikes more.

Danial watched Kadin for part of the day, while she worked on our new house.  However, in this household, it's not just the adult humans who are keeping an eye on him!

Yay!  We are out for another walk in the woods, trying out the ruff.  Kadin stayed awake for at least 15 minutes but then fell asleep and looked super toasty with his cheeks and nose snuggled into the fur.  

Lots of respect out for the eskimo women, raising babies in the arctic.  They know what they are doing!

I safety pinned my detachable fur ruff to Kadin's snowsuit hood to give his face a bit more protection in the cold and wind.  I got the ruff (with a vest) for $7 in a thrift store in Latvia.  A native Alaskan guy thought it was made from wolf fur, which is good for warmth, only second to wolverine.

Now we are ready to go play, little Alaskan boy!
