First day of school for Torsten

Filed under:ForGrandparents, Juneau, Torsten — posted by Matt on September 2, 2007 @ 11:20 pm

Torsten went to his first day of preschool at the Auke Bay Co-op.  Since it was his first day, mom and dad were there and mom stayed the whole time.  He was with a bunch of kids who were there for their second year, and knew the routine, so he had some catching up to do.  He definitely enjoyed the shaving cream art projects!

 He’s learning group dynamics and enjoyed hanging out with all the kids, we think.

Of course, we’ve got the preschool first day gallery.

Bear Visits New House

There is definitely more bear traffic here at the new house. We had one come and check out our trash habits–so until we build a better “trash can hut,” the trash cans are now in the garage. Beautiful bear, bad habits. These pictures made us cringe (as far as us fostering bad bear-human interactions), but they are a beautiful part of living in our new house. Bats do regular night flights, and the eagles are constant visitors and part of the sound-scape. I was grilling salmon and an eagle was behaving more like a vulture–up in the tree just waiting for me to turn my back!

Score! (ug…)
