A visit from the Grandparents!

It's been a long time since the last post. Not much had been going on. Ragnar is constantly working and I am hanging with the kids! This week Hellmut and Uschi got to come and visit us from Germany (after their trip to Utah and their cruise!). The kids had so much fun and we love to have them and are so grateful for the willingness to always travel to come see us.



Ella had fun hanging out with Oma and always had someone to talk to and Oma even did her hair and played dollhouse and had a teaparty!


We started out with hanging out with Aunt Gigi and Ragnar's cousins Laurie and Cade and their cute boys Benson and Connor! It was fun to see them and we REALLY need to see them more since they live in H-town too! Then we headed to the Rockets game! I think we all actually had a great time, I was surprised they actually seemed to like the game! Ella was clapping and cheering defense :)

We played a lot of bowling on the wii and now Ragnar and Hellmut are both pros!

We also went to the Galleria and shopped and rode the train and went to the Rainforest cafe which the kids were excited about!

You have to do something with trains if Opa is in town! They even gave us a ticket to ride :)



We just played and hung out and had a nice time visiting. We are lucky that our kids have such great grandparents on both sides!

It was fun to let them see our kids personalities and show them Cavins love for Cars and Ellas never ending chatting! As soon as we dropped them off at the airport Cavin kept saying over and over all day "OPA, OPA!!!" Then Ella would say and I miss OMA already!

We will miss you, thanks so much for coming, we hope you made it home safe!
