Keeping Up With The Klase's

Welcome to Keeping Up with the Klases! This is our little corner of the website where we share what’s happening in our lives throughout the year. From family vacations and holidays to exciting milestones, life on the farm, home projects, our animals, and everything in between, we hope you’ll enjoy following along with us.

Whether we’re gathering eggs, welcoming new adventures, spending time with family, or making memories together, we’re grateful you’re here to be part of our journey. Thanks for following along—we’re excited to share life with you!

~ Yearly Family Vacation Ocean Isle Beach ~

We spent a week making memories together at Ocean Isle Beach! Family time is something we truly value, and we’re so grateful we were able to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. A huge thank-you to our family for caring for our chickens while we were away. We’re back home!

Welcoming Our Exchange Students

This August, our family is growing a little bigger! We are so excited to welcome Arturo from Spain, who will arrive on August 12, and Carlotta from Germany, who will arrive on August 15.

Over the coming year, they’ll become part of the Klase family as they experience life in America, attend school, celebrate holidays, explore Virginia, and help out around our family farm. We can’t wait to share our traditions with them while learning about theirs. We know this year will be filled with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and lots of adventures!

~ Verona River Camping Trip with Friends~

Camping in Verona, Virginia

We recently spent a wonderful weekend camping in Verona, Virginia with some great friends! There was plenty of laughter, campfire conversations, river views, good food, and time to simply enjoy God’s beautiful creation. These are the moments we treasure most—slowing down, making memories, and spending quality time with the people we love.

Keeping Up With the Klases ❤️

Life has been BUSY around here, and I feel like I’ve barely had a chance to share all the fun we’ve been having!

We’ve been soaking up these first weeks of school, settling into new routines, and making so many memories with our exchange students. From first-day-of-school pictures to everyday adventures, laughs, outings, and all the little moments in between, there has definitely been a lot going on in the Klase house. 😂❤️

We are grateful for this season and for the opportunity to have our students here, experiencing school, family life, and all the challenges that come with being part of our family.

Here’s a little photo dump of what we’ve been up to lately — starting with those very important first-day-of-school pictures! 📚✏️❤️

Lots more memories to come!
