The Other Don Kelly

Wow, it’s been a month; all of November I was running silent. Plenty has happened, which I’ll I’ll write about in other posts, but here as an icebreaker is an Iris photo update:

This was at our rescheduled Halloween Parade, one week after the original parade was rained out. No photos, but she enjoyed watching Trick or Treat from our porch, and she liked the parade too, especially the school bands, and especially especially the percussion sections…

I watched her one morning about a week ago, and this is how we spent the time, at least until it was time to go to the playground. Snacktime, and some time with her “drumset” — the mixing bowls, which she likes to bang around and also stack and unstack.

We watched her yesterday, and we had fun playing with her and her makeshift “toys.” Friends visited later in the day and the weather turned unexpectedly nice, so we all took a walk over to the playground. She and her personality are both getting so big!

Not much to say, but here’s a bunch of Iris photos from February. Enjoy! You can almost see her growing, day by day and week by week.

I just can’t help myself, here are a bunch of photos of my new granddaughter, Iris:

You can see she’s already getting bigger and stronger, here are a few with her eyes open:

And finally some photos with Emmi and Anne:

I got these via text, so the quality isn’t the highest but they’ll do for now — I know I’ll get more soon, and I’ll get some of Kyle with his little girl as well. Meantime, enjoy these!
