Oma and Opa

On their last evening, "the girls" were invited to supper with Sylvia and Bert. Calli asked for chicken and Opa had to coax her to eat it, as it had "bits" in it. She did well and was allowed whipped cream on her apricot/custard flan. Calli is a bit scared of the dog who is only one and quite boisterous, but loves the three cats.

We saw 26 deer on the way out plus three bucks which I only just managed to miss as they dashed across the road. It was a fun evening and the girls both fell asleep on the way home.
Calli loves Oma's jam, and along with a new "lion" sleeping bag and some sweat shirts, Calli now has 12 jars of different jams. As I had added to Callis winter wardrobe as well, Jenni found herself having to pack another suitcase to get all the loot back home!

Needless to say, when we woke this morning rather late, it was snowing, raining, slushy and fogged in! We went to the airport expecting the worse as we couldn't even see the runway, but the pilot who had been on a "weather advisory" since leaving Vancouver managed to come in. We had readied the house/cat/me in preparation of a drive to Vancouver, but it wasn't necessary.

The house is so quiet, I miss them already. Although we were all so sick with head colds, we managed to have a good time, even if we couldn't visit anyone. Everything else in my life was put on the backburner so we could enjoy these precious moments, they grow up so quickly and change in the blink of an eye, nothing is more important than spending as much time as we can together.

Calli and Marin are so lucky to have such involved parents and Callis manners are constantly remarked upon by others....even little Marin now knows she has to say "puh, puh" before she is allowed anything, that is the closest she can come to please yet, but she knows the concept, as is well endorsed when she finds the hidden ricecakes! She drags the bag to Jenni and says "puh, puh" etc., she does love her food, although only certain things!

Okay, I will stop bragging now. Well, I have introduced you to my BF Marie, and my BF's Bert and Sylvia along with two of the most precious granddaughters, who is next, stay posted.......
