We escaped this depressing "spring" weather for five days in exchange for the sunshine of Southern California.
Levi's only true curl. The Klassen side still believes he'll have curls like Daddy. I say, don't hold your breath. But I guess one can hope.
Doing what the Klassen boys do best.
"I love Grandma sooo much!"
My favorite memory of Palm Desert: one morning we awoke to search out citrus trees. Mainly, we wanted grapefruit for breakfast--which we found, mmmmm. We also found lemons. Kristen is holding a lemon--not a grapefruit. Some of the lemons were huge! Kristen steeped some rosemary in boiling water and made rosemary lemonade--my favorite treat from Avenue Bread here in town. It was so refreshing and free!
We'd look like a typical S. Calfornia family if it wasn't for the pasty white tan.
Ryan giving Levi a frisbee catching lesson. The first of many.
Doesn't Kristen look tall next to the palm tree? She's always seemed tall to me (since she was ten and I was fourteen, I mean).
This is one of my favorite photos that I've taken of my mom. Isn't she beautiful?
Notice that Levi is standing holding onto his daddy with only one hand. He is getting more stable every day. He will be walking in the near future.
Levi finds a friend wherever he goes!
"Put a cork in it, son."
The wait-staff at the fine restaurant we visited to celebrate Daniel's 30th and Mom's 25th birthdays escorted us to a table in the back corner, far way from anyone else. I'm not sure if it was because we had Levi along or because Daniel was wearing a bright pick shirt.
The bougainvillea
looks nice, doesn't it?
