Change of Season

Winter is here..we have several inches of snow in the ground and it was -5 the other morning.


So much for the garden and good goat snacks.


Winter in AK means bunny boots, even for babies :)


Wyatt the red nosed baby.

Guess it's time to buy the ski attachments for the Chariot.

So big!

Wyatt is just over 9 months now. He weighed 18lbs 13 oz at his check-up. He is also getting his top two teeth in, crawling, pulling himself up and walking while holding on to the furniture.Wyatt loves to be standing up on his own.
When Wyatt gets moving he goes straight for a dog, a dog dish or the wood stove...exciting times for everyone.
And yes he is still cute!!!

House Update

Well Grandpa is back in WI resting up after his summer of building. He ended up extending his trip twice, He said he wasn't leaving until he got a hot shower! Now, thanks to Grandpa, we can have a hot shower whenever we want :) We are fully functional, the last big thing is getting the flooring in-hopefully that will happen this week and then it's just a bunch of little finishing projects like painting, trim work, building the bar, knobs on cabinets, little more tiling in the bathroom, getting the old cabin rearranged, etc. Unfortunately these little projects have a way of getting put off sometimes.


Yup, we even have a dishwasher- crazy!

And a microwave- curtesy of Grandma. But no, Jeff has not given up his grill quite yet :)

Finally a new stove, no more excuses for burnt baked goods.

And the most exciting part of the house.......no more trips to the outhouse at 40 below zero. But I do kinda miss the blue foam toliet seat :)

Wyatt LOVES the big tub!!

New Kid On The Block

We are very excited to welcome Torsten to the nieghborhood. He was born on August 23rd, weighing in at 8lbs, 6oz. These pictures are already way out of date, we saw Torsten just the other day and he is getting cuter all the time.

Torsten may just be taking after his Mama with his thick dark hair.

Owen is being a good big brother and Wyatt is excited to have another buddy to play with.

The big boys.
