Oma and Great Gram in town

We enjoyed both Oma and Great Gram's company last week for a full week.  They drove down from Illinois to Georgia to be with us.  Emma warmed up to both of them pretty quickly, though my very-attached-to-me son did not do as well.

First night they arrived they got straight to work-- read, read, read!

Great Gram got to meet her first great-grandson for the first time.

One of our favorite outings while they were visiting was to a peach stand 30 minutes from our home.  We got to purchase some delicious home-made peach ice cream, enjoy it with each other, and buy beautiful one-pound peaches.

 

Oma and G. Gram got to see where both Emma and BB go to MDO.

Oma got to take the kids to the park some, and the kids came back with some flowers for Mommy.

Sitting around the table right before dinner was served.

 

On their last day visiting us, they took us out for breakfast.  

Waiting for our table.

Oma took the kids to the park again while I took advantage of being kid-free to put the house back to normal before they left later that day.  It was super hot, but the kids and Oma all had a great time!

Good having family in town to love on our children all week long.

All in all, it was a great trip until four hours into their drive back to Illinois (right outside of Atlanta) my grandmother fell and fracture her hip.  She had surgery done the next day, and as of today they are still trying to figure out what it is they need to do.  They are away from family and in a non-familiar hospital/town.  Mom had to postpone her long-awaited trip back to Mexico, and is now living as a "hobo" (her words, not mine) in my grandmother's hospital room.  She had to turn in her rental car, she left her cell phone at my home, and my grandmother's cell phone she does not know how to use and has run out of credit.  Like Byron likes to say:  "this is a book in the making."

Praying for you, Mom :)
