GG Overland

Great Grandma Overland (my dad's mom) came for a visit a few weeks ago. She met Isaac for the first time. We had such a nice visit with her and Uncle Tim.

Thanksgiving and Beyond

We had a lovely Thanksgiving at Kristen and Daniel's. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. 

 One evening we let Isaac chaw (typo intentional) on newspaper. He had such a fun time, but it took much effort to get all of the black off of him. 

 Uncle Tim brought my Grandma Overland up for a visit to meet Isaac. We had a wonderful day together. 

Cuties.

 Isaac's friend, Evie, is trying to eat him limb by limb in this picture. She is a few days older than him and the same size. It was fun to see them together and compare personalities. She is quite the social butterfly and comedian. Isaac just sat back and watched. I think he's going to turn out to be a laid back guy. :)

Snow, Snow, SNOW!

 Everyone has been predicting a cold winter this year, but I've just been poo-pooing these predictions and haven't bothered to buy Levi any snow gear. Well, Friday night Bellingham received around 3 inches of snow. Luckily, Levi fit in most of his gear from last year. He and I enjoyed playing outside for 2 hours while Isaac took a long morning nap. I felt like a kid again!

 "Hooray for snow!" 

Halloween Plus

 We had an adorable dragon and a fierce spiderman for Halloween.

 Aunt Angie came trick-or-treating with us.

Isaac continues to be a smiley, happy boy. His names means "he laughs" and it sure fits. He brings such joy to our home.

"Grampa-Grampa"

"Grampa-Grampa," as Levi affectionately calls Ryan's parents, came for a three-week visit. Oh, how we enjoyed our time with them! I think they had a bit of fun being with the boys (and the rest of us), too.  Aunt Kami and Uncle Nathan (a.k.a. "Mo") also came for a bit. So for one glorious weekend, the entire Klassen side of the family was together.  Here are some pictures of the visit.

 This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Dad to date. It captures how young at heart he is.

 Uncle Mo is sitting on the other side of Levi. I took one with him in the frame, but the people in the background were distracting. Uncle Mo is definitely one of Levi's favorites.
