James' Moccasins

My mother came to visit this week and she brought James a beautiful pair of moccasins made by her friend, Martha Benjamin, from Old Crow (which is in the Yukon about 500 miles north of Whitehorse). Mom taught there for a year in the 60s and went back for a visit last year and re-connected with some old friends. It was so sweet of Martha to make James moccasins and he seems to love the beaver fur (Mom says boys get beaver fur, girls get rabbit fur--who knew!). We had trouble getting them on him because he kept grabbing them and rubbing the beaver fur on his face--very cute!


Ooohhhh! Soft!

They're mine--go away Mommy!


Yeah!
Hi, there! I can crawl!!
