Weekend with Oma & Opa

Sweet Oma and Opa drove down on Saturday morning to spend the weekend with the kids and me. Mike was in Finland and Mimi & Papa in Charleston. It was the most relaxing weekend I have had in months. Opa racked leaves with Jack, took him on walks around the yard while telling stories, and gave him unlimited undivided attention. Oma rocked and sang to Lucy with a big smile on her face all weekend. I even got to run errands ALONE during nap time. It is crazy having a happy baby that eats only every 3 hours and that you can actually leave with people without the fear of a screaming attack. It is wonderful to just enjoy this sweet baby stage!

Oma made delicious meals and we ended Saturday night watching "Germans in America", which was surprisingly entertaining (but I love American history). I am just really thankful for Oma & Opa and the special relationship I have with them. Really wish I could spend more time with them, but I cherish every minute I get with them! Sunday night we celebrated Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. Oma and I were cooking away in the kitchen all afternoon, with little Lucy of course. What an amazing time. I can only hope and pray that one day Mimi, Lucy, and my granddaughter will be cooking me up a fabulous meal to celebrate my 30plus anniversary with Preppy.
