Four pose for couple's fifth anniversary; spatula in the snow; tissues on the floor; Jobe stands
Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 8:00AM 
It is well past midnight and I must get up very early in the morning and I tend not to sleep all that well, anyway and worse yet when I have to get up earlier than normal, so I am going to hustle along, so that I can least spend a little more time lying in bed, tossing and turning.
Jacob and Lavina brought Kalib out this evening so that he could join Jobe and overnight with us. This, because it was their fifth wedding anniversary and they wanted to celebrate alone.
Before Jacob and Lavina left, I thought it would be nice to do a fifth anniverary family portrait.
When it came time to pose, Kalib ran off with his spatula.
Jacob had to chase him down and carry him protesting back.
Jobe observed all the commotion peacefully as he cooperated fully.
Jacob and Lavina Hess on their fifth anniversary, with the two little ones their union has produced. I think this picture captures each of them rather nicely.
Kalib dropped his spatula.
Kalib retrieved its spatula and used it to turn snow.
Kalib set out to sweep the snow away from the wreckage of the Running Dog. Oh, the good times that plane and I used to have! It will never fly again, unless by rare chance I score a best seller, get rich and can afford to spend three times as much to put it back together as it would cost me to get another.
I am about to try to get another, but all I can spend is $50.
I will explain in subsequent post.
Some of you Alaskans will have already figured it out.
But please don't tell.
Lavina kissed both of her babies goodbye, in turn.
Although their personalities are very different, in some ways, Jobe is following in his big brother's footsteps.
As you can see, he is not completely over his eye infection. He has a few cold symptoms as well.
That didn't stop him from standing up, all on his own. He stood there for about 30 seconds, fell on his butt, got up, stood again, fell again, stood again...
I kind of was hoping he would take his first step and start walking, so that I could photograph it, but then I did not want his parents to miss that moment.
Maybe he will walk tomorrow. Unfortunately, if he does, I will be in Anchorage. I will then just have to photograph him walking later - but there is nothing like those first steps.
