Hey all! 'Tis I, the loving wife and mother! Rowan unexpectedly fell asleep in my arms tonight, so I'm typing this one-handed. I view it as a good way to work on my patience, which I hear parents need a lot of.
This past week has been full of more grandparent fun, as my own parents arrived in Frankfurt last Wednesday. I think they've been enjoying seeing the changes in Rowan since their last visit. He is much more alert and loves to smile at their silly antics! They've even taken him out for some solo stroller walks to enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having. Of course, Rowan isn't the only one benefitting from the grandparents being in town. We've been enjoying some of their delicious cooking, and in true grandparent fashion, they agreed to babysit so that Chad and I could go on a date and prove to ourselves that we still like each other. Well, when I say they agreed to babysit, I actually mean they practically kicked us out of the apartment so they could have Rowan all to themselves. :-) He's got them wrapped around his little finger! I can't blame them - we're all smitten!
Another fun part of this past week is that a family friend of ours came up from Bavaria to visit us with her boyfriend. We realized on this trip that we met her almost 17 years ago, when she stayed with us during a foreign exchange trip. It's been a joy to stay in touch all these years, and we were so happy to meet her boyfriend (especially since he brought an enormous bottle of beer from their local brewery!). Rowan seemed to like them a lot too, and was so well-behaved that we all got to enjoy lunch out at a restaurant!
That's about it for now! My parents are here until Saturday, and then they'll have to wait to see Rowan again until this summer when we come to visit. We can't wait! Have a great week!
