Riverboat Discovery

When Wayne's parents were in town we went on the Riverboat Discovery along the Chena River. It's a tourist thing here in Fairbanks...it was really fun! 

Chase hanging out with the Henrie grandparents.

The five of us in front of the boat.

Any idea what these are? They're supposed to be polar bear hats, but they need a little work. We thought it was appropriate to take a picture anyway considering our current residence in the Arctic.

Apparently Chase doesn't like hot dogs. Weird, considering both Wayne and I thoroughly enjoy a good hot dog more than every once in a while. Who's kid is this?!?!

The boat stopped at Chena Village. Part of the attraction was the reindeer. The end.

I'm in Love

"The Thinker"

You may not be able to tell from the picture, but Chase was trying to latch on to my nose. He was thrashing his head all over trying to get it. I was cracking up...he is soooo cute!

Most kids suck their thumbs...Chase decided to be original and go for the pinky.

His face is so perfect! I can't get over how much I love him!

Our Newest Addition

I know, I know, you were all expecting pictures of Chase. SURPRISE! We have ANOTHER new addition! For Wayne's 30th birthday, we got a puppy. Her name is Cheiko and she is soooo cute. Wayne has been wanting a dog his whole life, so for his 30th birthday we took the puppy plunge. She is a purebred Akita and she's 9 weeks old. We love her!

Wayne and Cheiko the day we picked her out.

Cheiko meeting her cousin, Jacob. Jacob wasn't quite sure what to think about her.

This is the day we brought her home...you can tell from her sad face. She had 8 brothers and sisters she left behind. BUT, now that she's used to us she is a happy member of our family!

We went from a family of two to four in two weeks! 

She loves to sleep under the coffee table.

Chase loves his new sister.
Size comparison...Cheiko wins.

Maybe she doesn't realize she's not a baby.

She is a BEAUTIFUL dog and we are glad to have her in the family!
