Shiway and Dave meet Kieran

May was a month of fun visits with friends and family. Now with Max away on his big field campaign we're a bit backed up with entries but we'll try to get caught up. Our first visitors were our old Fairbanks buddies Shiway and Dave and our current Fairbanks buddy Julie. It was Shi and Dave and Kieran's first time meeting. The look of shock on Kieran's face is more a reaction to Dave's camera than to Shiway...Kieran loved hanging out with his "Chinese Auntie"!



Julie was one of the first people to meet little K back in January when we ran into her during our first trip to the Coffee House. Kieran was in his second week and Julie was desperate for caffeine and still reeling from a return from Antarctica hours before. I think they both got more out of this meeting.


The men had a nice stroll around the grounds while the ladies caught up on the latest. It was great to see Shi and Dave. Our hopes are that they'll come to their senses and realize that Fairbanks is where they really want to be...we'd love to have them back in town someday. Jules, you're another story ;) We love ya...and we'll miss you...but it's time for bigger things!


Now a little hanging around the house...Kieran has been such a little sweetheart over the last month. He loves to giggle and play and getting tossed and swung around is super fun. Here he is just being cuddly and cute with his poppa.


Are you ready for my next trick?


Look, no hands!

So much fun!


What a little ham.


The jumperoo has been more popular than ever. Kieran really gives it a workout. Here he shows off his shiny new teeth.
