Grand adventurers

Oh my goodness they're getting big!


 My sister Kelly watched Katie and Evie today as Rowan had a dentist appointment. Kel took pics of the girls and sent them. Katie's hair is getting so long and curly and she looks like she just got back from Mardi Gras with all those beads. In a little over a month we're going to get to see those two in person.  Can't wait!



Rowan's Ironman teeth
 Rowan had an appointment to get some work done on his teeth. He got a couple silver crowns.  Wyatt has 4 of them.  They are actually a great option for little ones who have larger fillings needed. They protect better than a filling against further decay.

Har's siblings
 Harlan's family had their reunion up in Canada this summer.  We were unable to attend but I've gleaned a few photos here and there.  His sister Naomi, sent me this one of the "girls" and Auntie Helen "Nani" (Harlan's dad's sister). Nani and Loretta live in Alberta and Iris lives in California. Naomi lives not far from the home place in Goldendale and Anita is a Portlander.
They are sometimes lovingly referred to as "The Aunt Farm".
 A gathering of the brethren occurred this past Monday morning in NE Portland. Harlan was able to get away from work to meet with 4 of his brothers for breakfast. Dennis is still here from Finland. Clint came down from BattleGround and Raymond was out from South Carolina to officiate at a wedding.  Howard is the only other local bro. 
It was quite a treat for them to have a mini reunion.

A new California resident
















Anabelle look like she's enjoying that California cheese from those "happy cows" along with her macaroni. It's going to take some getting used to seeing palm trees in photos from them.
Sunshine, sand and surf will be backgrounds for them now.
