Our glorious 2 weeks with Opa and Oma have come to an end. The children loved having them here ~ plenty of extra hugs, game time, and, yes, even school disruption.
Of course, every speck of my laundry is clean thanks to Oma, the laundry queen. Opa salvaged forgotten veggies and watermelons from the gardens before the hard frost claimed them. He also gleaned apples from the orchard and worked on pruning some of the trees. (Yes, we know they're supposed to be pruned during the winter, but I'm sure he knew we'd never get to them) He did bean himself in the head with a branch or two, and returns to Canada sporting a mild shiner.
We had the thrill of having both sets of Grandparents together twice - once for an evening dinner, and once for a glorious entire Saturday.
What a blessing: TWO sets of Grandparents who love God, and love these children!
Good-byes were hard. Ic was so devastated that Opa and Oma were leaving, he wanted me to do his hugs and good-byes for him. The girls had tears as well.
So, we're readjusting to life on our own.
For the Canadian family, they're coming back with a few photos... make sure you get a peek!
