March 16-31, 2018 - 3 years 8 months

Due to a last-minute realization that we were both going to the start of the Oosik ski race, I got to spend a few hours with Kadin in the middle of March (the 17th).  He was super excited to see me and we played on the giant snow mountain and had a wonderful time.

Here's the first snowman we ever built together!  He has hair on top of his head; Kadin's addition.

Sliding down the hill, over and over again, with Bucky chasing after us.  I felt like a river otter!  Weeeeee!


A few hours later, Kadin takes on a more contemplative look…




 And then, there were two more weeks of 
"beznjenica" 
which I just learned is Serbian for 
"a space or time without a loved one".




Kadin was back with me again on the 31st, just in time for Easter egg dyeing and pizza!  
After the eggs and pizza, we went out to the river to play in the snow with Bucky.  I love you Kadin.



Kadin would climb up the willow trunks and go "nnneeighhh!" like a horsey.

Even the walk back to our car was an adventure, as Kadito climbed up and traversed the snowplow ridge alongside Main Street, navegating steep hills and icy downclimbs.

And these last two shots are candidates for a Historic Downtown Talkeetna Calendar, highlighting two of our local establishments with a classic style. 





 (I swear these are not posed… Kadito hates posing for the camera!!)

December 2 - December 8, 2015 - 16 months and 3 weeks

Another week around town…


I'm trying to teach him the main rule of snow-eating – Do not eat the yellow snow!!  (So far, so good, although I'm watching out for him too.)
Storytime at the library ends with a craft project (see next photo) and a bunch of kids playing with the new library's activity wall.  Choo choo!
This was one of the few times I tried to help Kadin with the craft project after storytime.  Actually, what happened was that I made the snowman, despite Kadin's attempts to eat the styrofoam, tear the eyes off, and pull his head and arms off!  We both had fun though...

Another fun meal!
