Our Special Visitor

Grandma (aka Oma) came out to visit us and spend time with the kiddies. She stayed for a good month (June 18-July 19) and we enjoyed every minute of it!! It was GREAT to see her and spend time with her. We could tell the kids really enjoyed having Oma around because both kids slept in the same room with her, both kids wanted "horsie" rides from her, both kids walked hand-in-hand at the store with her, both kids fought for her attention . . . . . it was just cute to see the kids and Oma together.

The first 20 minutes or so of seeing Oma, Sebastian was a little shy but when he got home from the airport from picking her up it was more like "Oma this" and "Oma that". Alerina . . . on the other hand . . . . was clinging on to me the first 2 days but after that . . . . . it was pulling Oma here and pulling Oma there and wanting to see her books with Oma and wanting to play with Oma. WAY CUTE, I tell you!!!

This visit we had much more FUN than Oma's first visit. With the weather always warm and sunny, we got to do more stuff and see more things. We were out and about every single day . . . . . . . Oma got to see the kids play at the park, play water at the splash pads, have a little picnic at the park, go bike riding/take a walk around the blocks, visit the local garage sales, stroll around the stores, meet some of our neighborly neighbors, and see and experience the "lifestyle" here at good ol' Cedar Rapids.

The month came and was gone before we knew it! We hope you had a good time here, Oma . . . because we DEFINITELY had a good time with you. It was NICE having you here!! Come and visit us again real soon, OK?
