As we emerged out of the weird slump that hit us (mostly me) last weekend, it's beginning to feel a little more festive and happy around here, especially since Omi arrived yesterday morning. Nora's first question after I picked her up from school to bring her home to Omi and Caroline was "Are we going to eat Omi pancakes and applesauce?" Nora ate 3 "Omi pancakes" (i.e. crepes) for lunch yesterday and 3 more for breakfast this morning, so she is thrilled. Caroline is also loving all of the extra attention, and I am grateful to have good company. I'm hoping to do a little Christmas shopping this afternoon while Omi watches the girls, and also prepare for Nora's birthday party (her first "friends" party), which is tomorrow afternoon. Sunday we head to a German restaurant in York County to eat homecooked rouladen and to speak broken German at the "Kaffe Klatsch." Maybe we can visit Williamsburg on Monday to see all of the beautiful holiday decorations...then Omi flies home on Tuesday, and we start our trek up north Thursday or Friday. Here are some fun pics...Caroline playing in her favorite new space - the shower; Nora and Caroline listening to Daddy read stories on the new DVD he sent; and Nora modeling vintage hand-me-downs that Omi brought down from Brooklyn.
