Waiting for Snow, a New Family Member, and 8 Month Kaya

The river has icebergs floating down it and the north side of the yurt stays frosty all day. We have the cold, but now we are just waiting for some precipitation. Come on snow!

Here we are getting the dogs ready for winter pulling.

Notice Ranger hanging a foot behind Georgie so his line is slack and she is pulling everything. He is a goofy dog but he is definitely not dumb. We are hoping that his will be the year we can get a dog sled and get another Alaskan merit badge.
The Yurt has gotten a bit more crowded with the addition of a hermit crab to the family. Here is Leo putting Nicey's home together.

Kaya is eight months old now and is very close to crawling.

She was introduced to Cheerios recently and couldn't be happier. Her and one particular Cheerio have become life long friends.
