Various goings-on

The most important news I have to share is that Soren did some bona fide walking today! On a few separate occasions this evening, he pulled up on my pant leg and then took six or seven steps on his own. Sorry, Chris and everyone else in our family, this happened after your East Coast bedtimes, otherwise I would have called!

I feel like I haven't shared any Alaska-centric tidbits lately, so here's one for you: there's a guy about six blocks from here who has a pet caribou. He has it in a large cage outside his house, and takes it for walks on a leash.

Anyway, hopefully our Alaska enjoyment and the pace of this blog will pick up once Chris gets back from Rhode Island!

Hints for the rebus, since I want SOMEONE to solve it: both animals are prehistoric. The thing to which the third arrow refers is a made-up word, but you should be able to get it if you know your Greek-derived prefixes and suffixes.

Lastly, here's a shot of Soren brushing his teeth. Man, he loves to brush his teeth.

Soren, you have made the tragic mistake that almost every human being approximately your age makes: you have decided you walk. I know you feel that this gives you a sort of indepedence not afforded by crawling or riding in one of your parents' fancy transportation devices, but now you will be expected to continue walking until you reach a very old age! No more gucci stroller, no more scenic vistas from that cool backpack thingy. No, it's your own two legs until you're about 90. Maybe longer, by the time you hit that age. Well, congratulations. You must be proud of yourself in spite of the aforementioned drawbacks, and I'm sure the 'rents are beside themselves with pride as well. Best of luck and two parting words - expensive shoes. Get 'em while you're still on the dole, and you can never have too many!

Sigh.

Soren, you've learned to walk while I was away.

What's the next line of Cat's in the Cradle?

Sigh.
