Kuspuk Christmas

We decided to don our beaver hats, kuspuks, and boots and take some Christmas pictures in the yard. It has been clear and cold for weeks, with very little snow. Fiona stole the show in her colorful kuspuk, beaver hat, and authentic Athabaskan boots made from caribou calf and leather. Pretty cool.

The Addition

We finally broke down, planned an addition that suited our needs, and have begun construction. We are adding 1,000 square feet of space to our home. It will consist of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room and stove / mudroom entry. The price of building has gone up considerably in Homer since we built our home 8 years ago, but we have a choice: move to a new location or add on. We made the right decision, and this will be a spectactular addendum to our current living situation.

Polar Bear

No matter where you think you are in the food chain, you're not where this sow is. Seeing polar bears in the wild is both exhilarating and scary. They are one of the ultimate predators, living in an unforgiving land.
