Oma and Opa (Andrew's parents) have been and gone for almost a week now, and I am finally getting a chance to blog about it. They arrived on Thursday, September 11 and left on Monday, September 22. Our life was crazy busy while they were here, which meant they got to spend loads of quality time babysitting Nadia. She especially enjoyed their daily walks to the coffee shop and their trips to the park. They boys always look forward to their trip to the Dutch Oven Bakery.Oma has started a tradition of making each Grandchild a quilt. Ben and Ethan have owned their's for several years, but Nadia's was just recently completed. The photo of the kids is a little far away, but I wanted you to see the quilts. She spent hours and hours, truly a treasure.

How fun! Those quilts are beautiful, and a lot of work. Your kids are really lucky to have a grandma willing to invest that much time in them!

Boy, Andrew sure looks like his mother. What wonderful memories for your kids.
The quilts are amazing. Don and I have ours, that our grandmother's made. Don's was made in 1957, she embroidered the date on it. It is still his most valued treasure.
