Aidan and Oma, March 2007
The thrill of having a baby doesn't end with the immediate family unit. It extends to the rest of the family: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, the family cats. This sentiment resonated throughout our second visit with the Bump to Southern California last week. One of the many wonderful things about loving grandparents is their boundless energy. Seriously, Aidan's Oma and Opa (that's Dutch for grandmother/father), had more energy than I've had in months. The two of them took, no joke, over five hundred pictures and sent us home with two CDs and one video of the stills...which are g-g-g-gorgeous.
This visit was particularly special because the day before we left I got a job offer from a school I had all but written off (and which was my first choice prior to embarking on this hectic journey)! It was so nice being able to celebrate the good news with family.

It is very very easy to have energy when when we haven't seen our beautiful grandson, daughter and son in law for about 3 1/2 months. Gosh it seems longer than that.
The photos bring back the feeling of joy instantly.
Am already anticipating our next gathering. By that time he will be crawling, sitting up and saying 'mama' and 'dada' and later on maybe oma and opa!!!!
Sending lots of love. Take care,
Oma and Opa
You write very well.
