As rudder and I went out to the car this morning (at 1030) we saw our breath.
Rudder totally had a WTF? look as he furrowed his brow.
And I just thought to myself, time to get the heck heck heck (something buku’s younger brother mike loves to say) out of here!!
’til then.

this week we drove and visited ava in homer.
we met ava this past winter in st. croix.
and we LOVE her.
we wouldn’t drive all the way down to homer for just anybody!
rudder definitely has a crush. though i think the feeling is pretty mutual.
we ended up going to seldovia for a day.
and it was beautiful. and we saw whales. up close.
i will leave you with a few pics and post more later.
ava goes back to maine next week. we already miss her.
’til then.

hopefully this will make up for missing the last two foto fridays.
after i took the pacifier out of his mouth. i’m really trying to break him of that thing, and only let him have them for going to sleep (though i keep them onhand for public outings) – he spits them out as soon as he is asleep.
and here he is with two. he finds them everywhere!
splish splashing in the best bath tub ever. rudder thinks it’s a pool.
and a few from our trip to fairbanks.
oh, i’m sorry, is this not how i’m supposed to drive?
at dad’s digs in fairbanks watching cartoons and eating breakfast.
i can’t believe this beautiful little creature is my kid.
he’s getting more fun to play with and read to.
and even eat with. tonight we went to hula hands with cousins danielle and jessica and my aunt and uncle from palmer. our entertainment was watching him slurp up noodles.
but i can’t help but like him most when he is sleeping!
which he isn’t too shabby at, he just really sucks at the going to sleep part.
he’s a fighter.
especially lately. i’m blaming it on the teething – he has two top teeth (for a total of 6!) about to push through the gums. he is just so irritable when going to sleep.
i’m sure the two neighborhood drummers aren’t helping – though i am grateful they seem to practice at the same time.
and i am grateful he is getting his teeth in groups!
it could be much worse.
’til then.

Sorry I missed last weeks foto Friday.
I had better things to do.
Sugar daddy took a week off and spent it with fishy and I in anchorage.
The little fish turned 11 months yesterday!
Hard to believe he’s almost one. So crazy.
The first few months dragged on and on, but a far as his development into a miniature human, the last few months have really flown by.
And luckily the teething hasn’t been too bad.
And I guess there will be no foto in this post.
I’m posting from my iPod and it keeps crashing every time I try to attach a photo.
Sorry. Maybe tomorrow.
And I’m knitting something so will hopefully have a post about that soon.
’til then.

today we flew the milkrun (our only option) from wrangell to anchorage via petersburg and juneau.
and my son was a rockstar.
for the airlines being such a horrible experience, he does really great.
he never fussed at all today.
and i realized how nice it is to travel within alaska on alaska airlines. no problems with baggage (you can check three in-state and i had my neighbor check some fish for me since when you travel with a baby, you have lots of crap!), you don’t get raped by tsa in your hometown, no long security lines… much more pleasant experience than my last!
i don’t have any pictures of flying today, but i do have some of rudder doing the dishes!
’til then.
