Settling In

Admittedly, the front yard view isn't quite as awesome as the backyard view. But it makes for a nice climbing wall!




Stokes is stoked!



Watching the Trusty Tusty head to out to sea.

New Home Sweet Home

We are renting, but that doesn't take away from the joy of moving in to a brand new house! And our new place is really great. Lots of windows, great views of the channel, radiant floor heating, a huge deck, all that good stuff. It's a very nice place for hosting visitors! Now all we need is for our furniture to arrive.




Boodah and Stokes enjoyed their first non-sink bath in 3.5 months. Hooray!



Last day at the old pad.

August Adventures

August means football around these parts, so we went to Kodiak's home opener.





The locker room is very Alaskan. It's in the forest off the side of the field.



We've also been chasing salmon, salmonberries, sunshine, jellyfish and waves. And trying to get Boodah interested in potty training. He's not interested.





On sunny mornings, Java Flats is a great place to start the day. It's our favorite coffee shop.




Boodah took this picture. For reals.


He also took many pictures of his fingers.








Finally had the courage to take the "waterproof" camera back out into the water. It worked this time! Just before the fun starts:

This is totally out of focus, but that blob in the upper left is a crab swimming in the water.

Ancient wood petroglyphs.

Buddies on the beach.

My First Fly-fished Fish!

I talked Meghan into taking an all day fly fishing course with me today.

Check out that form....whoa. You can probably hear the fish trembling from where ever you happen to be reading this blog. Watch out fishy fishies.





Boodah joined in for some fun after the class...As you can tell, I'm teaching him everything he knows.










And since I'm on a roll with mega-blogging, the other day we saw our first Kodiak one of these...
