Visit from Papa and trip to the West Side

Grandpa Fred came for a visit last week.  We kept him very busy!  Between trips to Spokane, Seattle, Anacortes and Bow, Oliver had him running all over the house.  Papa, as he is referred to by Oliver and cousin Alek, kept up very well. We miss him already!

 

We went up in the Space Needle

Happy Thanksgiving

Gobble Gobble!
The house down the street has put this turkey up in their yard.  Oliver loves to pet it every time we walk by.  This time I actually had my camera with me. 

Olher Ochs

Last night Oliver started saying his full name. He can't quite get the V in Oliver so he says 'Olher'. But he can say 'Ochs' loud and clear. He's kind of shy about it but he'll put the two together when we ask him what his full name is. He's so smart!
