Two weekends ago my Mom came to visit us. Time goes by so fast when we have off and are having fun. We all spend six great days together. Dylan calls my Mom "Grandma", while Emersyn calls her "Oma" because she can't say Grandma. Oma in German means Grandma, so it's fitting seeing as though we are half German.
We spent much of our time playing. We also went to Pullen Park which in the pictures is the train and boat rides. We played out side, got ice cream from the neighborhood ice cream man, snuggled, laughed, and had loads of fun. It's been days since Grandma has left and the kids still wake up and say "Is Grandma here?" or Emersyn yells "Oma, Oma!".
St. Patricks Day this year was a bit different. Usually we just wear green, but with Mom in town we had all sorts of fun. She brought fun glasses, headbands, and green pancakes for us to eat. We went out to dinner at night and changed our name temporarily to the O'Henry's :-) Even our Russian dogs were Irish for the day!
Living far away continues to have its challenges. We miss being around family, so when we get visitors it makes the moments even more special.
