| This is actually the only good photo this week… but it sure is an awesome one!!! |
 |
| We'll keep the rest of this photo shoot private… ;-) |
 |
| 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! |
 |
| 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! |
 |
| Kadin always seems so happy outside, playing and exploring the world. Best cure ever for his fussiness! |
 |
| Six eggs and one orange. Eggs dyed with blueberries (blue), tumeric (yellow), and paprika (didn't work so well). |
 |
| And he's off, empty basket in hand. I just told him to go look for the eggs and he knew exactly what to do! |
 |
| This was the first one he saw, and it sort of freaked him out. They had a stare-down for a few seconds and then he slowly approached. It does have a sort of evil look to it, completely unintentional. |
 |
| After conquering his fear of the evil snowman, Kadin tried to grab the egg but it proved a bit awkward with his fleece dog-booty mittens. |
 |
| Mittens gone, Kadin easily picks up the eggs on the porch. |
 |
| And another egg and choco/pb cup on the sled. |
 |
| He was trying to give me his peanut butter/dark chocolate cup but once I opened it up for him, he understood and kept the rest for himself! |
 |
| This Easter egg hunt was way too easy for him! |
 |
| Yay! Another one! |
 |
| After he found all of the eggs, Kadin tried to figure out what was inside them. He had only had scrambled and fried eggs up until now. What a surprise! |
 |
| He really wasn't that excited to find a hard boiled egg inside. It's like someone had already told him about the plastic ones with candy and money inside! You have to watch the video... |
 |
| These two hooligans (and Bucky) had to stay inside during the hunt. I'd already caught Buck trying to sneak away with one of the eggs in his mouth. |
 |
| Kadin still loves eating snow. |
 |
| Afternoon walk with little Miss Annie. |
 |
| Ended the day with Bucky entertaining Kadin with his amazing snowball catching abilities! |
 |
| He's so good at it, the snowball was headed right at right at Kadin and… whoosh… in comes Buck to save the day! |
 |
| Here comes another one…. |
 |
| Ooops. Bucky is still trying to figure out what happened to the snowball. Kadin could have told him if his mouth wasn't so filled up with snow!! |
