Carnival

Last weekend Oggie threw a party to say farewell to meat, sweets and alcohol before his Lenten fast in preparation for his baptism at Easter.

Here he cleans up the house before guests to arrive.

After a coconut macaroon or two, he was showing off all his best moves.
And it's just not a party without his best buddy Ezekiel.

You can see Ogden's "steal the pacie" skills have become more sophisticated and now include the use of a food as a distraction.

A Friend From Afar

Shortly after Christmas a new little guy arrived at the Klatt house. He's about 15 inches tall and weighs a little over a pound, and he and Ogden are quickly on the way to becoming best friends. So here are a few photos of the wee lad hanging out in the new play room upstairs. (No we didn't add on to the house, it's just the other half of our bedroom, which has recently been repurposed.)

By the way, though you may see German impostors under the name Ole. Ogden's buddy has informed us that he hails from Scandinavia and goes by the name of Finnerik the Red, or Finnerik the Great works, too.
