  • Arctic Wolf Puppies

    There are new puppies at the zoo!image_thumb56

    Arctic wolf puppies!image_thumb19At least 6 of them!image_thumb24

    And they are so cute!image_thumb20So very cute!image_thumb25Dad doesn’t really like to play.image_thumb1

    There was some disagreement over whether it’s OK to snarl at the babies.image_thumb

    The puppies aren’t even smart enough to stay out of the way when the grown ups are fighting.image_thumb65

    Dad was sorry.image_thumb3They made up. image_thumb30

    But he still just doesn’t understand why these things won’t leave him alone.

    image_thumb4He doesn’t have any milk!

    image_thumb5But they still won’t leave him alone!image_thumb[3]

    The puppies can’t figure out what his problem is.image_thumb37

    Mom has to feed all 6 little guys

    image_thumb34

    And they always want more. image_thumb[2]Which makes her very hungry.image_thumb11

    I don’t think she’s going to teach the pups not to chew with their mouths open.

     image_thumb39

    She gets to be nose to nose with cuteness. image_thumb62

    Such cute noses!

    image_thumb71Sometimes the cuteness attacks her nose.image_thumb63

    Sometimes it winds up in her mouth.image_thumb73They may be a little too curious.

    image_thumb64

    They get lots of kisses.image_thumb14

    They sometimes wind up underfoot. image_thumb[1]Or right in Mom’s mouth.image_thumb74I don’t know how you could ever get bored with all of that cuteness.image_thumb61


  • 10 Years

    We decided to go back to the beach for our anniversary, regretfully not the same beach.

    image

    OK, so it wasn’t quite that cold.

    imageAir temperature wasn’t too cold, but the water was definitely not going to happen and Kerri was not happy at the suggestion.

  • Anniversary Dinner

    We had to work on our anniversary and we wasted all our time at the beach, so for dinner we had chicken fingers & ramen (We were out of french fries)

    image

    Matt turned his into gourmet Indonesian style ramen with fried scallions topped with an egg, over easy, accompanied with baked breaded fried chicken breast tossed in a spicy soy-hoisin sauce, topped with fresh cut scallions and toasted sesame seeds. (He also decoratively arranged Kerri’s BBQ sauce because it was a special meal after all).

  • Polar Bears

    The weather in Toronto at New Years made most people want to bury their heads and stay inside. 

    image

    But Kerri and Matt dragged themselves out of bed.

    image

    After several attempts.

    image

    Far too many failed attempts to describe here.

    image

    We sprang out of bed to attack winter with unparalleled ferociousness.

    image

    But a little bit of apprehension.

    image

    After gathering all of our important equipment we set out to seize the day.

    image

    We really love our equipment.

    image

    We misplaced some of it though and spent a while searching all over to find it.

    image

    Okay, so we may have lost the visual metaphor at this point, so instead check out the size of those paws. Huge right?

    image

    Even polar bears are very careful to check they won’t break through the ice.

    image

    Sometimes they dive in anyway because polar bears don’t mind a polar dip at –20C.
