Baby Bumps and Christmas Trees

Here I am, 19 week baby bump and all! We went to our favorite beach yesterday, it was a little cold (about 60 degrees, I'm sure nobody suffering through the Seattle storm is feeling pity) but it was beautiful and crisp. Thanks for the shirt, Keren!

Here is Finny, flopping around at the park. This was before he went in the water, he's much dirtier now.

After we went to the park, we went to get a Christmas tree. This was our first year where we couldn't just go up to the mountains with a $5 permit and cut one down. Sigh. So here we are at the "Christmas Tree Store," picking out our tree from among dozens of equally perfect 6-7 foot pre-cut identical trees. No hiking up cliffs to find the least-lopsided tree in the forest this year!

And the winner is...

Well, it may be from Home Depot, but I still love it now that is in the house and decorated! Note to all of you who are buying Christmas trees from the store for the first time... they take up a LOT more room than the scrawny forest trees.

This afternoon Dan's brother is coming to visit, which begins a long train of Kleins who will be descending over the next two weeks. We're really excited! I love Christmas!!!
