Omi & Opi visit us!

Right after coming back from our trip to WA, my parents visited us for 4 full weeks! We hadn't seen them since September 2013 in person, we had skyped every Tuesday though. The girls were excited and we had a great time! Aside from sightseeing in D.C. and Baltimore, we did some yard work and got rid of the pond, to replace it with a sandbox for the girls. Omi & Opi got a water table for them and whenever the weather was good we were outside playing. Bubbles are a huge hit these days too.
We took lots of pictures of course. There all on our Phanfare webpage http://nielsona.phanfare.com

Us, in Washington, Bellingham

Finally! We did visit Grandma and Grandpa in Bellingham :) it was Lily's first time meeting them and Karina's second time (although I'm sure she can't remember Christmas of 2010 very well...).  My thoughts about them being shy at first were completely unnecessary! The girls started playing like they knew them forever! It was awesome :) since our visit we're trying to establish a routine in skyping once a week. Somewhat successful, but always fun.

We had a great time and it was hard to leave. Nothing compares to a great relationship with your grandparents.
