Family Fun

With two of the sweetest couples in the world, and 4 precious grandchildren in our home, the second week continued to bring us lots of joy and excitement!

Noah and Ellie enjoyed lots of activities at the "Noel" table. Can you guess where the table got its name??? A fun spot for eating breakfast together.

Coffee break - or was that hot chocolate?

Game of crock - they didn’t have much trouble keeping themselves entertained.

Our British daughter made us all a typical English breakfast - yummy, yummy, but no room for lunch.

Puzzles for all ages.

Feeding peanuts to the chipmunks at the zoo.

Lots of fun at the Indoor Playground.

Then on to McDonalds

All 4 grandkids at once and loving every second of it.

Noah loved this little detailed book. Only problem was that it was written in German.

The slide in our backyard came with our house.

Noah and Ellie enjoyed lots of time on that,

after our daily 'peanut and raisin picnic' with "Omma" in the shed.

Out for a cup of tea with my two special daughters.

One afternoon they surprised me with an early birthday party. Kara cooked my favorite meal - chicken curry. I think it was the best curry I have ever had!!

Sometimes the side benefits of getting older are worth it.

Claire made a yummy meringue birthday cake.

Then Kara presented me with a drawing of Selah when she was only a few days old. I love it, and it is super special knowing all the time that she spent on it.

Their last night with us.

We miss them - the house is so quiet - Omma’s arms are empty.
Yet we try to focus on the wonderful blessing we had of being together for a fun packed two week special. Thank you Lord!!
