We've had some happy and memorable reunions this April. The first picture shows our dinner on Easter day with Sue (Russ' sister, sitting next to me) her daughter Sydney, and Steffan (Russ' brother) and his wife Claire. It's wonderful to have family nearby!
The next two pictures show Koko just after he arrived in Alaska last Thursday. He travelled well by cargo, though he looked quite dazed when I picked him up at the airport. After a walk in a nearby park, he seemed more himself. He has adjusted to the colder weather and new surroundings quite well! In fact, when we drove up to our house, he whined and got excited just like he used to at his old home in Bolivar. You can see from the picture of him on the couch he's already figured out the best place to guard the house. He is quickly learning about the other dogs in the neighborhood, most being much larger than him. We've been taking daily walks after school now that the weather has warmed up to almost 50 degrees at times.
School is going well for both Russ and I. We are eager, of course, for the duties of the year to come to a close, because that means our little boy will be coming soon!
