Weekend at Oma & Grandpa's

Caleb has two sets of very loving grandparents. He is so blessed to have an extended family near and far that love him. This Friday Caleb and I left daycare and headed straight for my parents for the weekend. Friday night Caleb got to play with Grandpa downstairs. Downstairs is Caleb's favorite inside place at their house. He asks for it all the time. "Downstairs, downstairs, downstairs..."

Downstairs are toys from my childhood as well as some new things that Grandpa Gene and Oma can't help but add to their collection. Gene sees a deal or imagines the fun, it's added, especially if it has to do with building and assembling. He has mentioned he wants to share the love for putting things together and building with his grandkids. Caleb is game! 

Saturday Caleb got to help make chex mix, play outside with Oma, play dough time, and more. He has his own room upstairs, in the bottom bunk bed. He likes it and has slept well there. His night sleep and naps have gone well. Oma is just down the hall and can easily get to him when he stirs. Each morning when he woke, he would come down with Oma and give me some snuggles:) I'd sit in the basement and interact with him while he played. 

Sunday was a bit more cuddly. We read books and had a train day with three different sets in the basement. Caleb went outside and played in tractor made snow hills with Grandpa after nap. They rolled balls for a snowman too! 

For supper Aunt Greta and Alex came over for family supper. Caleb ate his weight in broccoli and pickles. Broccoli he get from Daddy, and pickles from Greta:)

We reunited with Daddy after supper. We drove home, happy to get home. Our little family time is expiring soon, so we treasure each moment together. 

Josh got a lot done upstairs, so we all had a great weekend!
