| Bubble bath at Mia's house! Yay! Ba-was! Ba-was! |
 |
| Focused, better not fall or you'll bite your tongue in half! :-) |
 |
| Sharing his bread pieces with another kid in Wasilla. |
 |
| Yeah, he has some random wound below his eye, but geez, isn't he just adorable! |
 |
| It's a bit blurry, but note the empty Canine Bordetella vaccine bottle that is serving as a pilot now. |
 |
| Boy can he fly!! |
 |
| Any chance to take his clothes off... |
 |
| Me! Me! I want to throw the glider plane! Me! |
 |
| Hanging out with Farah, Dean, and Ben. |
 |
| Helmet? Check. |
 |
| Yum! High bush cranberries! |
 |
| I finally got some clothes on him, but it seems as if I've lost the helmet now... |
 |
| OK, it's hard to make sense of this photo, but it made me laugh so hard. I was trying to read a urine test under the microscope and I looked down to see a little naked boy squatting next to me with my crocs on backwards and an antibiotic label on his nose. Looking up at me so earnestly. Jeez, I love this kid! |
 |
| Buenos dias! Off to daycare today. |
 |
| Kadin ended up getting Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease – a viral rash that ended up spreading to the entire daycare to the point that they shut down for a day to disinfect. After he was cleared as no longer contagious, he went back to daycare and tried to inspect everyone else to see if they had a rash as well! Here, he's lifting up Soleil's shirt to examine her back for itchies. |
 |
| Wholesome food at daycare |
 |
| Our tadpoles are now froggies!! This is in the froggerarium I made for them in the house. |
 |
| And a few days later, we released 3 little froggies near the pond on my property, where we had collected the eggs. |
 |
| Good luck little froggie! |
 |
| Kadin helped me let the froggies loose, enjoying the soft mossy area near the pond. |
 |
| Every morning, Kadin jumps up and goes to the foot of the bed to hug Birch. |
 |
| Just too cute, I can't stand it. Oh, and look at Birch's little paws in the corner. Birch loves Kadin just as much. |
 |
| Here he is… my new associate veterinarian. |
 |
| This is the second shot, a bit blurry, but it has it's own appeal... |
 |
| Apparently at daycare, when Kadin goes under the table, it's because he's pooping. Hee hee. |
 |
| Mia made the kids at daycare a yummy smoothie and Kadin was the only one who liked it! That's because he's used to my concoctions with the Ninja! |
 |
| Kadin helps me pick up my local veggies… including this cabbage that is bigger than his head! |
 |
| We went to drop off a bunch of recycling in Wasilla and they have a little nature trail with various creatures made from discarded scraps. |
 |
| Every so often, Kadin gets a sudden desire for green things and binges on them. Here, he just attacked my salad and shoveled it in as fast as he could. |
 |
| They are still alive and growing bigger and bigger!! |
 |
| We took my packraft down to my little pond to explore it a bit… |
 |
| Splash in the water, grab lily pads, watch the water strider bugs... |
 |
| But as exciting as it was, when it's nap time, it's nap time! |
 |
| Exciting times for the Woodpecker clinic… running water, utility tub, and a washer and dryer! Crazy. |
 |
| Finally warm enough for the baby pool! Plus, with our hot water heater, I was able to add just a bit of hot water to take the icy edge off of it. |
 |
| My new secretary in training! I guess I still need to get him a uniform, huh? |
 |
Kadin wanted his own hammer and nails to play with… toy tools are just too dull.
|
 |
| On Tuesday, we hopped in the plane and headed out looking for a new patch of tundra. Flew over some amazingly beautiful areas but ended up hiking in the Peters Hills, where we've been many times. No less beautiful for being familiar though. |
