She is finally here...Oma arrived, after two long hours of waiting at the airport, on October 7th. We are so happy that she will be here for 3 weeks. Lots of fun things are planned but also just hanging out and spending time with my mom.
Picnic at the park:
Shopping with mom...we found things no one needs:
Oma cuddling our birthday pigs...Lucy and Linus were one year old on the 15th:
Nightly card games with the children and then with me:
Derrick was traveling for a week and the kids were missing him:
Amelia's classmates owns a goat, horses and dogs, so we all visited one afternoon. The children even got a riding lesson:
One evening, we had the fire pit on and made S'mores and stock bread.
An afternoon with our German friends, Bettina and Dominik. Playtime, cake and then some pumpkin carving:
While Oma was here, Derrick and I got to go on a date. We originally had planned a weekend trip but because of all the Fall activities, we didn't find a good weekend to do it. So we went bowling instead. Of course, my husband never told me that he is really good at it:
And the next day, it was time to say our goodbyes as Oma was flying back to Germany. We truly enjoyed having her here and we did lots of fun activities. Watch out for the next few posts about our adventures together. Saying goodbye never gets easier...we love and miss you already, Oma!
